My Uncle Jr. passed away on June 15 (13), 2004 at North General Hospital.  He was alone; without his only niece and a sister.  You see that is how my Uncle wanted to die.  He didn't want me there to see him suffer.  At the time, I did not have the means to give Uncle Jr. a proper burial and opted for Hart Island (or as more known Potter's Field).  That term has bothered me for quite some time.  I wrestled with his dying and burial location.  I knew that he ascended to heaven; he was a good man with lots of torment, but he believed in the one true God!  It is comforting to know that Uncle Jr. was buried amongst others with a similar story; young and old alike.  May be some day I will go to the Island and feel his presence.


Thank you for this opportunity!
