While Heartfelt Condolence is extended to my cousin Tracy and family, I am so grateful to have had the privilege of sharing some very special moments with my uncle Hobbie as he affectionately assumed the responsibility of accepting me as his first beloved daughter and extending such a nurturing embrace to my sister (Angela) and I. I will forever cherish the memories I have of him as I expect to see him again one day.
