Can time erase the pain of losing someone you love? I think not....a person once truly loved remains forever in your heart and even your soul.

A Note to Jerry:
I used to call you “Shay” before I could really talk….I don’t know why? I followed you everywhere when I learned to walk. You help me to conquer my tricycle and other difficult tasks. You tolerated me slowing down your playtime. You protected me from the street bullies, when they threaten to take away my cardboard snow sled. You were always there for me as my big brother….I thank you for that.
I followed your lead in joining the U.S. Air Force and riding motorcycles. Us brothers three, all Univ.of Fla. BSEEs....how about that?
I remember some happy times. Scuba diving off the Florida Keys; flounder gigging and fishing in Florida; lots of UF Gator games, snow skiing trips to North Carolina; vacationing together in Europe; and many, many happy family gatherings.
I remember the sad times. We grieved together our Father’s tragic death in 1957, the passing of our dear sister, Janice, in 1979 and Mom’s agonizing battle with Alzheimers then death in 1993.
I promise to help look after Carolyn and Scott & family. I will miss you dearly, big brother, but I know you’re with Dad, Mom, and Janice now, and you, at last, feel no mental pain. Till we meet again in heaven………
Your loving brother,
Bruce
