Uncle Gilbert I can't stop thinking about you. Why are you gone? Why aren't you here to answer the phone anymore? I felt like you deserved to live forever. You were sick but fought the pain and still smiled. It doesn't seem right walking into grandma Lens house knowing your not pulling up or your not sitting in that chair by the door. I miss you and love you more I will never forget you and I will never allow your legacy to die and go unrecognized. To my OG, my blue-eyed Uncle, my best friend. Forever love you.
