My mind has been going through these 48 years like a picture book. I remember the first time we spoke on the phone when I was 10. The 13 story card house you said, "there's no way you can build it!" And yet there it stood when you and Dar woke up the next morning. The 4 four leaf clovers I had to find to stay the night with the both of you. Many, many memories that I will always hold close to my heart. The best of all was the day I knew you accepted the Lord as your Saviour. You had a glow all around your face. So, I was thinking about the moment you arrived in heaven this past Sunday morning. How wonderful it must have been, with all the rejoicing in heaven, that you had finally come home. Now, you've no less days to sing Gods praise, then when you first begun. I love you dear brother. Until we meet again.
