The first year John and I were married (1977), Rick was home on leave from the Marines and John and Rick were having a Star Wars fashioned light saber fight in their Mom's back yard at night.

My dear brother, I can't tell you how much I miss you. We had such a special bond. Things will never be the same.

My love and prayers to Shiela. I thank you for the love and happiness you gave him.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to your family.
