Dear Dan,
I know we kind of drifted apart over the years, but when I needed you the most,
you were always there. when Gigi got sick and passed away, there you were with that big ole bear hug ,you were there to hold my hand when we lost mom and dad,
and once again, when we lost our beloved Aaron,
you told me you loved me, and gave me the biggest bear hug ever!!! That meant so much
to me. I wish we would of spent time together over the years, but I guess that doesn't really matter now, we cant change any of that. what I do have and will cherish always
are the memories of us growing up, and how you just loved to pick on me!! that's what big brothers love to do to their little sisters! I remember that Christmas when I was
4 years old, there was this huge beautifully wrapped box under the tree and it was for me,
from you!! I was so excited I couldn't stand it, then Christmas morning came and I remember that was the first present I went for! I couldn't imagine what you had gotten for me!
I ripped it open fast as I could, inside was mounds of crinkled up newspaper, I kept digging and digging, then finally, at the bottom was a little box. I opened it thinking what treasure I was going to find inside and there it was, one little piece of Bazooka bubble gum!!!
You got a good laugh out of that one!!
You will always be my big brother, I will love you and keep you in my heart forever
may you rest in peace, give mom and dad, Gigi, Aaron and baby Kyle a big ole hug for me.
Love You Always,
Your sister Lori
