My Dearest Brother Larry, I will forever love you and miss you. I will miss the way you could always make me laugh, even when I really didn't want to. I will miss the history that you were able to share with me about our parents and the memories that we shared and the things they went through and experienced. I treasured those conversations with you. No one can replace you. You were so smart and funny and thoughtful. I will miss being able, when you were able, to call you and talk for hours about what was going on in my life and in yours. That meant so much to me. Your loss is the world's loss. You earned a Purple Heart and served your country with pride and courage and valor. You worked hard all of your life. I hope that now that you are enveloped by God's loving presence you can finally accept how loved you truly were by me and by others. I will see you again some day in paradise. No more pain or sadness or hurt or tears, only joy. Now you will be able to fully enjoy the greatest gift of all and that is the love of God Himself. Your little Sister, Monica
