My brother Dickie was my big brother who I was always proud of. He always looked out for us younger ones. He could laugh with us and cry with us. He was a vivacious, kind, compassionate, caring and a loving brother and son who had a great sense of humor. I will miss you Dickie and you will always live in my heart. You are free at last.

I love you forever! Your little sister, Mona
