My Big Brother!! I am going to miss you so much!!!!!!! I have SO many wonderful memories of us playing together as kids on Sherman St. The memory of getting to skip school so we could go see the 8444 up in Cheyenne. All the times you let me tag along when you were playing trains in Neal Miller's basement. All the times you let me tag along-period! I will cherish all those memories I have of you. Even the ones during the last year of your life. You were so supportive of me, even though I should've been more supportive of you. You truly are a special soul, Keith! I know you will be watching over us. And I know you'll be there to make sure I set up my/your train layout correctly! :) There is a reason why I am a block away from a railroad crossing. I can remember you every time another train passes through town. I love you brother!!!!! See you on the other side!!!!
