Oh my big brother. I will always miss you. My first ever memory was when you were getting ready to go on a date and you had put on cologne...I can still remember it! And you coming home from Vietnam and handing me the biggest sucker I had ever seen! (And I think mom ever had seen because she was mad at you for giving it to me!) and you always calling me cooters. luckily it didn't have the same meaning as it does today! I will never forget the day I picked you up from the home not knowing if you knew me and the pop cans came out of the carton and fell on the floor and you said "rot row" in your scooby voice. I remember laughing at you because you were still there. And another time I sat near you on the floor and you reached and grabbed at my nose , showing your thumb through your fingers, and saying "got your nose" just like in all the old days. I know you're in a better place with Daddy and someday we will be together. I Love you.

My friend and playmate throughout our childhood which included many moves because we were army kids. I always had you during those difficult transitions. Thanks for playing baseball,football,bowling and roller skating with me. Danny was annoyed at me because I was always taller and weighed more than hehe. I will miss you.
