How do I find the words? I put this off too longso unlike me, right? I remember growing up always wanting siblings and knowing I had 2 big brothers I would probably never know. Then when Mike reached out and we all met for the first time in our 30's, the love and bond between us was immediately undeniable. I'll never forget getting acquainted and all the questions we had for each other. It was so much fun and like we'd known each other always. The two of you kept me laughing non-stop. It was amazing. We only saw each other twice more after that. The first time was when Dad, Casey and I made a trip to NJ. You, Sharon, Mike, your Mom and the O'Neill's were so welcoming and made us feel like family. My first and only visit to NJ was truly a highlight of my life. The second time we were together was not so happy, but no less special. When Dad passed, you and Mike came to Washington your first and last trip here. You spoke at the memorial service and made me so proud. I know Dad was too. No words can describe how important it was to me having my two big brothers for support. It wasn't meant for us to visit opposite coasts again, but the bond continued still. There were many long phone conversations through the years where you shared news as your boys grew up. It doesn't really feel like you're gone. I prefer to think I can still pick up the phone and talk to my brother. One day...

I will always remember growing up with you. And how you would give me hugs when we were little And as we got older, you would always find a way to get me into Collingswood Sr High dances when I was only in Jr High. And we would compete in dance contests. You won...mostly...I remember how you played basketball so fiercely in high school. And you and Mike singing together with that old reel-to-reel tape recorder turning on its posts. Your smile lit up any room, and your heart was so full of love and care for your family and friends... So much intensity. I know there are lawns to be mowed and yards to be tended in heaven. I look forward to helping you when I get there...'Love and Miss you. ❤
