Rest in Peace, Uncle Joe

Today I'm in New Jersey to attend my Uncle Joe's funeral. My heart breaks for my cousin Raymond, who already said goodbye to my Auntie Sue when he was just a boy, and now is burying his dad.

For all the sorrow of a funeral, it was also nice to see Ray and my other cousins, my mom, and my aunts and uncles. There were plenty of laughs, stories of Joe, and pictures of the family over the years.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, 

and may perpetual light shine upon him. 

May he rest in peace.
