Josie Loria
I met my uncle in 1947 when he and my aunt Mary were married. From that time on I can't remember a day I did not love him dearly. In 1976 when I lost my own father suddenly, he told my brother and I that as long as he lived, he considered both of us one of his own. Aunt Mary & Uncle RC were our serrogate parents. I was privileged to have been given 2 sets of parents on this earth. Uncle RC was a "special" uncle to Shirley as well. What fond and treasured memories we will carry always in our hearts for you and Aunt Mary. Thank you for the gift of your 4 children who have been like siblings to both Frank & I. The holidays, fishing trips, riding through the back roads of Grapeland, the plum jelly, the laughter and the tears we shared will always be with us. The special "lemon" tree in my yard will be a daily reminder that you were one of God's greatest gifts to our lives. WE LOVE YOU ALWAYS. JOSIE, FRANK & SHIRLEY
