Uncle Sam or better known as Tuti 
May you Rest In Peace with your siblings around you now.  Maybe you always the angel to watch over all your nieces and nephews and of course your sister Lydia who cares for you so much. Growing up you managed to live with all your 4 sisters at one time or another. To grow up and be around my brothers Jesse & Johnny  Jr., & Gilbert and of course others cousin Roy & Pilar. According to mom y’all were all trouble lol  for me I know going to Tia Lydia’s house won’t be the same anymore. Pulling up the driveway seeing you sitting outside on the porch and then walking up to the house giving you a big hug and saying what’s up and you asking where is everyone else at. The last time I was over there you wanted a ride to the store and I said ok. Got to the store and asked if you needed help you laughed at me and said I got this lol. Always know you were much loved and apart of all of our lives in one time or another. I can remember when you lived with us and you & your brother Twinkie shared the back room and we could hear y’all fight of the TV  of what y’all wanted to watch lol thanks for the memories & corny jokes, stories & laughs. always in hearts and never forgotten love you always Sam ❤️ 

On Oct. 8, 2019, I lost an extremely important person in my life. After 60 short years, God decided that it was time for my Uncle Tuti to go back to Him. The moment that I found out that he had passed away was one of the most heartbreaking moments I had ever experienced. I didn’t really know how to process everything that I had been told. All I can really remember from that moment is feeling like my heart had been ripped out of my chest. I kept thinking that I would never be able to see him again and I didn’t get the chance to tell him goodbye, so here it is.
Uncle Sam,
Life without you has is going to be really hard. You were always there for me when I needed you to be and you somehow always knew how to convince me that everything was going to be OK when things were tough, all I can think about is the fact that you deserved way more than 60 years on this Earth. You should be here with us now. Being able to laugh and love as big and loud as you want to. It hurts me to think that you won’t be there for a lot of milestones that my siblings and I will reach. Although there will be many things that you will miss, I can’t help but to remember and cherish every moment that we had together.
If there is one major thing that I learned from my uncle’s death, it is to be grateful. Only when I lost him did I realise how crucial he was in my life. The thought of his absence had not struck me before, and I had forgotten to be grateful while he was here.
So, be thankful for all the love and all the people who matter to you. Hold them close and appreciate their presence in your life. Do not wait to realise the value of something until it is gone. Seize every moment and every experience as a precious asset. Be grateful to the ones you’ve lost and the ones who are living with you.
Another thing that haunted me after the loss were the words left unsaid. So if you have something that has to be said, do it while you can. Never miss an opportunity to tell people how you feel about them.
