About This Quote
This quote is a beautifully written poem. It is about the death of Uncle Joe, a man who has died and Tom is crying. His mother said that he died laughing. I think this shows how his mom was a very careful person and she cried a lot as well. She was showing that she was a very emotional person because she would cry a lot when her dad died.
