How do you say goodbye to a big brother? In about a years time I've lost both of mine. He was a very talent artist and proud of serving in the military. He and his wife(Trish), who passed a few months before him raised a good family. Jenny, Jodi and Leslie I am truly sorry for your losses you've had to deal with. Blessings and love to you all.
