I always knew we would be in touch again one day and it never happened and I am so sorry for that. Time never diminished the love I had for you as a brother. It hurts just as bad whether it was 25 years or 25 minutes. I love you and will always remember the good times we had as teenagers and young adults. I can see that little giggle now. When we lose one, I am sure it hurts us all from the old gang. Such wonderful and great memories. Love you and prayers to your family.
