I Was Just Awaken At 4 A.m. To Be Informed That My Uncle Had Just Past Away. He Had Just Turned 82 On Sunday. He Was My Idol And Hero. He Served In The Army In The Pacific In Ww11. I Had Many A Talk With Him Over The Yrs About Many Things, He Never Opened Up Till Later Yrs Of What Went On While In The War, He Felt, That The Least Said The Better. Then One Day He Opened Up, I Guess It Was His Time To Tell. He Had Told Me No One Knew What Had Happened But Had To Tell Some One. I Felt Honored That He Was Going To Tell Me. He Started To Cry, I Have To Tell You Ron, I Killed A Man With My Bare Hands, I Was Looking In His Eyes When I Did It. Uncle I Said, It Was War, You Were Doing What You Were There To Do. Time Heals They Say, But Maybe Some Things Never Heal. Sorry People, Just Felt I Had To Share My Uncle. God Speed Uncle Johnny, Say Hi To All Our Fallen Vets.
Sorry to here that Chopper. I'm praying for you and your family.

My Deepest Sympathy and Condolences for the Family and Friends....
Rest in Peace
When we have done all the work we were sent to Earth to do, We are allowed to shed our body, which imprisons our soul like a cocoon encloses the future butterfly;
And when the time is right, we can let go of it and we will be free of pain, free of fears and worries, free as a very beautiful butterfly returning home to God.
God Bless

Your Uncle sounds like one hell of Man. His private worries and sorrows are gone now. He is among the Blest. Amen.
