I got the call at 5 am Friday morning that my Uncle had lost his battle with cancer. His fight was a hard one and he never gave up. The doctors had told us a year ago it would be any day now but he proved them wrong. My uncle was a good man and he never complained as he became weaker from the cancer that took over his body. As we are happy he isn't in any pain anymore it doesn't make his passing any easier. We are always said to go one without someone we loved. His strength though has inspired many to keep fighting and never give up. The world lost a good man but his strength will live on in our hearts forever.

I'm sorry to hear about your uncle. He is in a better place now. He doesn't has to worry about any pain anymore. It sounds like he was a good man and a strong person that never gave up.

I am sorry for the loss of your uncle. I know that there isn't any words that can make the pain go away. I lost my grandfather to cancer two years ago. I often think about him and miss him very much. You take care and keep all of his wonderful memories alive in your heart.
