Another one of your birthday's without you here. So hard to believe I can't pick up the phone and call you, although I have tried to so many times.... I miss you everyday .... I listen to your messages, listen to the recordings, look at the photos and keep you alive with family and friends. We all miss you my darling older brother. My sweet, darling, brother ---- love you with all my heart.

Billy - another Veteran's Day without you. Another holiday start up with you gone. My dearest brother, I love you everyday and all day every day. I know you know because I talk with you still everyday. My hero, my star, my great loss - love you with all my heart.

Billy - The holidays are here, and I miss you so very much. I can't but remember growing up together and how much fun we had playing with the village under the tree. Remember the hours on end that it would take mommy and daddy to do that for us - we sure made them feel good playing with it. Remember when Cotton was a kitten and she would sit on the caboose of the train riding around, swatting each ornament as she went by. I cherish the jewelry you gave me the last Christmas you were here....

Billy: It is Veteran's Day and I simply had to write to you to thank you for your service and for all you did to help Veteran's after you served in Vietnam. I can hear you speak your motivational words. Today, in heaven, you share this special day with so many other vets, like you and daddy served our country. I think of you and him everyday. I talk with you everyday, but that I know you know. I love you Bill with all my heart. Hugs and Kisses to the best brother in the world. Kiss daddy...

I can't help but think of you every day but as the holidays begin, even Halloween. I fondly remember our growing up and trick or treating – you walking me by the hand as my older brother, carving pumpkins together and of course, eating the mounds of candy we would get from our generous neighbors. How lucky we were. I then fast forward to us with our own children building on the family memories we had as children – doing the same activities with them. Mike always loved how you would...

Bill - It is hard to believe that another grandchild of yours will not get to know you. Sara and Jeff's new baby girl will join Adam and Charlene among the children to grow up without their "pop". While it is beautiful and happy news to have a new one in the family, it is so very sad to realize you won't share in the joy. My heart hurts but I know what you, mom and dad will say - and I shall do so. Love to the three angels that look down at me from above. Love all of you! Miss you more...

Bill - My dear friend Barb just lost her brother and wow, I know how that feels. With this, she found this beautiful piece written by "unknown" but I wanted to share it with you, my brother - while she shares with hers. I like it that much!!! Here it is:

I'm sending a dove from heaven with a parcel on its wings. Be careful when you open it, it is full of beautiful things. Inside are a million kisses, wrapped up in a million hugs, to say how much I miss you and to send you all my...

Thinking of you today - think of you every day but I wanted to let you know. I wrote a lot and I know you loved reading my writings, so . . . couldn't help but think of you. Hope you, mom and dad are together watching the ball games!! Can't hear or see the Yankees without thinking of you guys. Miss you all - Love Debbie

You are on my mind my dear brother as we prepare our easter eggs, bake and prepare for the Easter bunny. Remember the baking venture with my family, you and me and the kids the last year we had with Mommy - how we all laughed and laughed with the cookie decorating, your rabbits looking just like Jen's and she was five. So many cooking ventures we had - I also remember Easter growing up with you and how you would hide those eggs for me over and over and over - I loved it and cherish the...
