JAMES H. UZZELL JR.
Dec. 18, 1944-April 23, 2009
"There's an open gate at the end of the road
Through which each must go alone;
And there is a light we cannot see
Our Father claims His own
Beyond this gate our loved one finds
Happiness and rest;
And there is comfort in the thought
That a loving God knows best."
