We have been thinking a lot about you recently. You are a part of our life aways. We remember many shared experiences from our childhood. We remember sitting in kitchen armchairs by the radio listening to the Lone Ranger. Our friends thought you were so handsome! And of course, you were.

Remembering Cousin Richard with fondness. It was always a delight to be in his presence for the yearly Easter and Thanksgiving holidays. He made us smile with his jokes, and I loved listening to his vast record collection. My memories of Richard will forever remain in my heart. .

March 8th is coming up. We think of you often. We trust you are well where you are, and that you are with Mom in the ancestral village. Just this week, we recall you sitting in your favorite rocking chair by the kitchen window listening to the Lone Ranger on the radio. Lots of memories come to us. We keep you alive in our heart. March 8th is coming soon. We know you thought you had more time and were not ready to leave us so soon. Just know that you were loved.

I think of you often with sadness. The day you died I was at the United Nations for the status on Women sessions. I had spent a whole night at hospice. I will never forget that time. None of us expected you to leave us so soon. I remember the rides you gave me on your bike. And how ws you loved your first car, driving back and forth in the driveway until you got your license. Then there was the dirt track you and your friends used as an off road raceway. So many memories. Maybe you are still talking about vintage cars in the ancestral village.
