To my Uncle Clifford. You were my secret santa , you were a friend to me when I was in need as a young man , you are the most loving and devoted father To your children. I never knew Joshua. But your daughter Karen was one of my best friends growing up my cousins Were close to us as brothers and sisters. As grandma Bernice, Your mother, Was the glue that held our family together in life, as you were The moral glue that held the family together for as long as possible after her passing. You're close to my father and my mother when I was a child and I will never forget the lessons I was taught and That you trusted me as a confident with your personal life stories, That at the time I know were meant for me to learn how to grow as a man. When I was in grade 7 you came to Grand Beach where I was living and having a tough time fitting in to my own skin. You gave me a gift for my birthday that I will never forget A native leather tie with an Eagle at the knot. Since your passing I know that you have sent me signs of eagles to comfort me until let me know that you are OK. I know that you are with Karen now and with Grandma. Just know that the lessons in life that you have given me have been passed down to my children and will be passed down to my grandchildren. I miss you my elder my uncle my friend, you will be missed more than you'll know. Rest well , we will see each other again.
Love; Lee Everett Joynson
