I know many people come on here with a short description of their loved ones describing their life journey to the world. This however for me, will be a long one. I lost my favorite uncle , my uncle lewis last month and it took a lot out of me for some ime. One of the hardest things i had o cope with ever in my 26 years on this planet. A short description of his wonderful man wouldn't do him justic so I'm going to apologize for the length of his in advance.
My Uncle, Lewis N. Poe was born the same day as me, January 20,1951 to Lewis Moore and Annie Poe. We often called him "Smiley" because he smiled so much.(LOL) He attended school in Starkville, Mississippi and graduated from Henderson High School in 1969. I recall my father telling me stories of how my uncle used to help take care of him when he was younger. Lewis had gifted hands..you could bring a car to him that was not working and he would have it up and running in no time.
He worked for Weavexx for over 30 years and was married to Lue Gene Poe for 39 years. They have 5 lovely children.
I was told that my uncle Lewis began starting to sleep more than usual in December 2008 which was not like him. He was often found sleeping standing up, or working on a car and falling asleep while doing so. Strangely at the same time(and I had no idea of any of this until after his death) I too was feeling extremely sleepy and had a hard time staying awake. I fell asleep at work which I have never done in the 5 years I have worked at my job. And i was not stresed and I also had plenty of sleep..
Later he had shortness of breath the following weeks, yet never went to the doctor. Some people said he knew he was sick but did not want to tell anyone about it.
On January 21st, which would be the final time he spoke to me he told me how much he loved me and how proud he was of me going back to college because I had dropped out to take care of my sickly son who was born prematurely. We laughed and joked as usual. I recall teling him happy belated birthday and he did the same for me. My 2 kids talked to him and he asked my daugther what she was doing. She told him she was eating cheetoes (flameing hot is her favorite). He said he wanted some and she said, "Ill have my mommy buy you some and we will put it in the mailbox"...(LOL) He asked me was I upset with him about something because previously in July at our family outting I didnt speak as much to him as I usually did. I did not think I was acting strangely that day but he told me that he thought I was. I told him I would never be mad at him and had no reason to be..I guess I was just having one of those days. Then he told me he was getting in shape this year and that he promises to keep in better contact with me calling more..he also told me he was going to send me something nice for my birthday. I am 26 now and I told him it didnt matter what he sent I would appreciate it greatly. The last thing I told him before he hung up was that I loved him.
On January 26th my uncle called his aunt and told her he loved her. He also spoke with my grandmother(his mom) and she said "Baby, you sound like you are short on breath why don't you lay down". Prior to him going to sleep, his daughter in law noticed a rattle from his chest. She also kept hearing the sound of horns that nobody else could hear. She kept asking those in the house do you hear those horns playing and eveyone said no. At 9pm he went to bed. He was pronounced dead early the following morning on the 27th. He died in his sleep. The coroner said he died before midnight, yet my cousin claims she heard him snoring at 2am. So they(my family) believe he died between 4am and 6am. His alarm clock went off at 4am as usual and he did not jump up to turn it off like usual. My aunt shook him and he was stiff as a board, yet under his neck and his stomach was still very warm. No autopsy was performed, but the coroner said it appeared he died of a massive heart attack or stroke due to the fact that his fist were tightly balled up. Even the funeral director could not unball them. I found out the news at 5:45am in the morning when my aunt called and told me. It was like a world of devastation for me. i couldn't eat, sleep, or breathe and I started to have chest pains shortly afterwards. Weirdly that night I could not sleep(prior to my aunt calling). I kept on tossing and turning so when I received the news I was already wide awake. I was weeping, screaming, and crying. I looked up at my ceiling and asked he lord why, why did you do this to us? It was a that moment I felt a cool breeze behind me. It felt like a fan blowing out very cold air on my lower back. Startled I turned around only to see nothing. A few hours later I closed my eyes and I had a vision. I am known for having visions of deceased relatives more on that later though.
I had a vision (not a dream)I saw my uncle in my bedroom a few feet from my bed staring at me with a long tear comming down his face. He looked so sad and pitiful. It startled me and I opened my eyes only to see nobody standing there. Now I know why my cousin heard the sound of the trumpets. Angels were blowing them for him because they knew it was his time. After seeing my uncle with the tear in his eyes, I honestly feel like that was him telling me goodbye and it was hard for him to do so. He was not ready to leave this earth but it was his time to go.
I miss my Uncle very much and he meant so much to me. I can not wait till the day where I can see his smiling face again in Heaven.

FOREVER IN OUR HEARTS
A million times we needed you,
A million times we cried,
If love alone would have saved you,
You would have never died.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still,
In our hearts you hold a place,
No one can ever fill.
A place in our vacant home,
A light from our household is gone,
A voice from our love is stilled,
Which never can be filled.
Some may think that you are forgotten,
Though on earth you are no more,
But in our memory you are with us,
As you always were before.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone,
A part of us went with,
The day GOD called you home.
Your precious memories are for keepsakes,
with which we never part,
GOD has you safely in his keeping
But we have you forever in our hearts.

Gone Too Soon
Like a comet
Blazing 'cross the evening sky
Gone too soon
Like a rainbow
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soon
Shiny and sparkly
And splendidly bright
Here one day
Gone one night
Like the loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon
Like a castle
Built upon a sandy beach
Gone too soon
Like a perfect flower
That is just beyond your reach
Gone too soon
Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight
Here one day
Gone one night
Like a sunset
Dying with the rising of the moon
Gone too soon
Gone too soon
By Michael Jackson
♥♥GOOD-BYE♥♥
♥I know my time has ended,♥
♥Its time for me to leave. ♥
♥I want you all to know,
You mean so much to me.♥
♥Why I had to go,
Was a mystery to me.♥
♥All I heard was God,
Saying “ Please come♥ home to me.♥”
♥So I left my friends and family,♥
♥I didn’t say goodbye.
All I got to see,♥
♥Were the tears in their eyes.♥
♥But as I saw them crying,♥
♥I asked them not to grieve.♥
♥Knowing how much we care,♥
♥That our love will never cease. ♥
♥You can look up at the sky,♥
And look over to the sea.♥
♥When you feel that gentle breeze,♥
You always think of me.♥
♥When your time comes,
To join me up above.♥
♥We will be reunited,
And still, we’ll have♥ our love.♥
