The Marines have a saying: First in Last out. My dear brother I miss you more each day, I will never understand the demons that Vietnam left you with but I know they are gone now as you are too. It has been a year now and it seems like yesterday, I only hope my pain subsides, oh Jesus how I pray! Semper Fi Bubby Semper Fi!

Rest in Peace Stephen. You are in my prayers

My loving brother forever! I will always remember you!
I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence ,I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, from which I’ll never part. God has you in his arms, I have you in my heart.
