To his loving sisters who have been so kind and caring – Know that Uncle Chick is finally at rest, after a long but not very happy life. His one constant in life was the love of his sisters. No matter what, the three of you were there for him. He is now with God and his suffering is over. Many suffer from physical pain, Uncle Chick’s emotional pain was far more devastating than any physical pain he experienced. I pray now that he is finally at peace.
