    Dear Little Brother, Although time has passed since you were swept out of our arms, just want you to know I am still praying for you every day and miss you. I know one day we will meet again and there will be no more sorrow or pain. I think of your courage traveling to Rochester, MN, Indianapolis and Bloomington; you were a true and brave warrior. I think of our bike rides in the neighborhood, how we named every little road and bump, our fun in the backyard and treks in Wet Woods. You were a good little brother and until we meet again, "May He hold you in the palm of His Hand." Gayle Ann
