Honor and Love
Your sacrifice and courage brings honor to our family. I am a single dad of 3 small children and I am going through difficulties. I have your purple heart and I look at it when your nieces and nephews drive me crazy. I think of your short life and I sob. I will live out my days honoring you and raising your nieces and nephews with love. I am battling substance abuse but I tap into your courage and I press on. I love you Uncle Eugene. Love your nephew Michael.
