Rusty was a beautiful baby--enough that our mother entered him in most beautiful baby in Santa Fe--he was a runner up. What I loved so much was how Rusty and Dianne loved each other--they were a great example of love--and their love goes on.

Rusty, we attended every school together -- Columbia, North, Palmer. Though we were never the closest of chums, I still remember your friendliness and kindness over those many years -- and of course your flaming rusty-red hair. Your life was a good one. Rest well.

I'm missing my brother so much, even though we didn't get to see each other very much. We had a special brother/sister bond all our lives and my heart is heavy that he is no longer with his loving family.
