"Uncle Lorne I really can?t believe you?re gone, it?s crazy. I wish we all could have hung out one last time, i will miss you so much. You always made us laugh. I remember one time Jacob was doing something with the vacuum and he couldn?t do it or make it work and you said ?well you must be a stupid idiot then? hahaha and till this day we quote that it was just a random thing that was so funny , you were always funny like that. I loved all the fun camping trips we used to go on and the night fishing was so cool too. I remember one time camping we all got in the back of your truck and you were driving too fast and mom flew out LOL, she was okay but it was funny. All the fun bbq?s you used to have and the die hard rams fan you were, you cried when they didn?t win the Super Bowl i will always remember that too. And as long as i can remember you always telling me ?strawberries hearts and rainbows and things? and calling my name Eeerrrica. I could really go on and on you were such a joy and a great uncle! I?m sad that you are gone but I know you are in a better place and not in pain. I love you uncle Lorne "
