Today I have to say goodbye to my brother James. I think of all the great times we had growing up and the trouble you got us into. The most memorable was when you told us to sneak out the upstairs window so we could go roller skating with you. You were waiting with the car down the street. Polly and I did as you said and we went and had so much fun. When we returned home and tried to get back into the house there was no ladder!!! We had to go inside through the side door and dad was waiting. We found out many years later that Tammy had squealed on us. I'll never forget the wonderful memories that we shared. Rest in peace until we meet again. I'll love you always.
