Dearest Uncle Duane,
As a child; I knew you as the coolest "dude" that I'd ever met. You talked with me, and made me laugh, you let me count all your pennies and we watched "The Twilight Zone" together. As an adult; I was lucky to be reunited with you via email, and I looked forward to your letters, the stories you shared of your life and of the war. Your words always so witty and enlightening and your compliments of my family unending.
I miss you already...
Give love to Aunt Cat for me.
Your Niece, Molly Landry Lively
