Aunt Marilyn and my cousins,
Although he is gone, he will "forever" be in our hearts!!! I'm sure his brothers were there to greet him into heaven with open arms. I will miss his voice, and his open ear. The legacy of the three brothers now remains with "all of us cousins". Perhaps we can join in on fun together as we did when we were children, instead of just reminiscing at the saddest times in our lives. Let's make more memories together, and cherish all of the ones our fathers paved for us.
Love to all
