I have good memories of your family & I'm thinking my Mom & your grandmother were pretty good friends. It is a strange world when both of your parents are gone, so much history...gone.

A brother to love. I grew up with good brothers,I really can't think of anything that they did that was out of line growing up. Our Mom and Dad had a great influence and I had a good life with them. My regret is that I didn't spend more time with them the past 30 years. Time is always without fail shorter than you can possibly imagine I suggest if you have a brother or sister call them (NOW) and tell them how much you love them, even though you may have disagreements aside, has nothing to do with you loving each other.
I have way to many Children, Grand kids, brothers nieces, nephews, cousins to name but I love you all with or without disagreements.
