  8. RIP Uncle Henry.
    We enjoyed getting to know you better over the last few years, & appreciate taking Kylie in to live with you, we are forever grateful for that.
    Having Kye around, spoiling him with matchbox cars & your happy meal toys, always put a smile on both of your faces. We will miss your long conversations & phone calls. Hope heaven has your endless cup of coffee for you!
    You’ll be sadly missed.
