Vanessa and Family,
Just a quick note today to let you know that you are on my mind (which you are most days), but especially today. Bryant still has great difficulty in dealing with the loss of his fallen brother, but is taking it one step at a time as I am sure you do. He has a new tattoo in which he has Antoine's and Jamel's initials encircled in a halo so he will always have a piece of Antoine close by.

My love continues to go out to you.
