June 1948 - August 2009
My loving brother has gone on before me. And now I hope he is waiting for me.
Waiting in a place where every moment is happy and peaceful and full of sweetness.
Perhaps he is waiting to tell me a story, one with the happiest ending of all ...
And what seemed to me to be the ending is really only the beginning.
The beginning of an eternity of perfect joy.
And as I turn the pages of each tomorrow, may I be comforted by the way the story continues, each day a new chapter of beautiful memories and peaceful feelings.
I love you and I miss you dearly.
- “your sister,” Suzy
