My BIG BROTHER that was what you were big, tall, and strong. You kept me safe, showed me how to be strong in my weakest moments, and were my protector so none dare say anything bad to me. To loan me your new car for Prom that was so supper! Then when I dented your beloved Cutless, you were not mad, at least not to my face. I was so proud to be your sister and to wear your letter sweater to school. Later proud of how you lived your life, and raised your daughter and son. Then when you got all eight of us kids together for what turned out to be your last time, you said no to health issues at that time, but GOD must have known else wise. THANK GOD we did! I kissed you on the forehead for all the other six who could not be with you at your last moments on this earth. I miss you, BIG BROTHER.
