It has been eight years and yet at times it feels like yesterday. Then I feel like it has been forever since I have seen you. I still miss u and wish you were still here with us everyday. U were one special guy and brother. I sometimes cant beliece I am still around here on this earth. I am as old as u were went home to Jesus. I pray that I will see u again.

I was the physical therapist assigned to assist Mr. Harding during his recent decline in function. He exhibited the quality to which every human should aspire: "Never give up. Don't ever give up"...quote from Jim Valvano, a highly respected basketball coach who died of Cancer.

I miss my big brother. I miss you calling me "thats my sister." I miss our talks. I miss sharing pens, school and office stuff. I miss our Starbuck's Mocha Lattes. I miss the silly grins and your laughter. I miss everything about you. I love you and you will be in my heart forever.
"Your little Sister"
