Hey Big brother, It’s coming up on a year and I still can’t stop the horrible heartbreak and sadness.
I miss and dream of you everyday.
Always, Lil Sis
August 8, 2024. It has been almost 3 yrs since I lost you- my firstborn. No one can ever take your place in my heart. I think about you every day. Some days are better than others. Some are unbearable almost. We are having a tree planted here on the Cape at a park in your memory. There will be a plaque and a park bench where I can go and talk to you in Heaven. I know that’s where you are and you no longer hurt. I hope you are with my mom and dad. He treasured you as his first grandchild. I am 83 1/2 so I will be joining you soon. I can’t wait to hold you again. Mom
My dear oldest son, I felt the need to write to you about your family. Joe had to have triple bypass surgery after a heart attack. He is doing well, but has had to slow down. Scott has been going down and helping him with ADI Tampa. Last week they were in Atlanta all week working. Scott doing well with his charter business and helping his dad. Finn will be 4🥰 in August and goes to pre school. He is the smartest in his class. I at will get to pick him up from school when parents busy. Lyndsey and her husband Erik are having a baby around May 7. She is still a PA at Mayo Clinic in a Jacksonville. That will be two great grandchildren for your mama. Robin here helping Larry and I as I am 84. His health not good. Anyway that’s about all for now. You cannot imagine how much we love and miss you. Until I see you again my darling, mom
