Dear brother,
I still think what could have been, still miss you dearly, pray for you, think about you. As a big brother you were my hero, someone I looked up to. I enjoyed it when you let me tag along once in a while. Now you have Dad there with you, I hope you're playing golf every day with him or taking him flying which you loved so much. Not long ago my Matt visited the Wall and made a tracing of your name. I have told him all about his uncle Dickie and how brave he was and what a good brother he was to have. Dick, you would really like him as you would all your nieces and nephews, sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law.

I thank GOD I had you for a brother and only HE knows why he took you so young. I pray that you are in the plam of HIS hand. Till we meet again

Your little brother,
Kevin
