Hey my Darkness-

I miss you so much that I can not believe that you are not physically with me. I look over to see if you are coming up the street and often listen for the phone.

I love you more than any words could/would say. As you had often stated -"You said you was gonna get me--you got me!" Ditto.

I love you much..forever in my heart

For My Brother Dean...Well, just for humors sake one last time ("as we've always kept it")..........
I don't know if the angels in Heaven read the Washington Post but I'm sure your looking down here laughing at everything like Andrea said! All those jokes I made about you & James Brown...well maybe now you'll really get to meet him in heaven, just don't try to out dance him...not unless it's the Holy Dance! LOL!
