Remembering Claude Aston, family man and gospel singer extraordinaire

My uncle Claude Aston passed away last month. 

He was a fantastic gospel writer and singer. I tried to learn to sing one of his songs. He was always practicing in the house with his three children down in the basement. He gave them a wonderful show and was great with his kids. 

He enjoyed himself in church, too. People would jump up and clap with his music. I know that my Aunt Maylou must miss her husband. I’m trying to see how she and the family are doing. I tried to reach out, but her cell phone was not on. I always had trouble staying in touch with Uncle Claude because his cell phone was never on.

You were the best uncle in the world and it makes me sad that I will not see you sing anymore, Uncle Claude. I will pray for my Aunt Maylou and her family.
