It is so hard to put in words what you meant to me. You were my big brother....friend.... and protector. Our life's were blessed by knowing and playing Together as children. I miss our phone calls already and I am so happy I saved some messages from you. I only hope and pray your days on this side were as happy as mine was with you. I miss you big brother and so glad we reconnected years ago. Life seems so short once we get to our age. I tell my kids to live their dash. I pray you did. I only have one regret. I wish my children could have met their wonderful uncle. Thanks for finally telling me you loved me. Sometimes that is hard when a man tells another man. But..I always told you before we hung up and now brother I am saying it again till we meet once again. I love you
your little brother
Jack
please give Mom...Billy...and dad plenty of hugs till I can myself.
