DEAR GARY,

IT'S BEEN 30 YEARS AND I MISS YOU MORE THAN I

EVER DID.  IT WASN'T FAIR THAT YOU HAD TO GO,  A

PIECE OF ME DIED WHEN YOU DID.  MOM HAS NEVER

BEEN THE SAME NONE OF US HAVE .   YOU WERE

SUCH A GOOD BROTHER YOU SACRIFICED A LOT TO

HELP MOM RAISE US.   I NAMED MY SON AFTER YOU,

I TAUGHT HIM ABOUT A YOUNG MAN WHO QUIT

SCHOOL TO HELP HIS MOM RAISE HIS BROTHER

AND SISTERS .   I TAUGHT HIM ABOUT A YOUNG MAN

WHO GAVE HIS LIFE SO OTHERS WOULD BE FREE,  

BUT I NEVER LEARNED HOW TO DEAL WITH THE

PAIN AND THE ACHE AND EMPTINESS  THAT WAS

LEFT WHEN YOU DIED, UNTIL NOW I HAVE MADE

WONDERFUL FRIENDS WITH YOUR BROTHERS

THAT SERVED IN VIETNAM,  I FINALLY FOUND

SOMEONE THAT UNDERSTANDS THE PAIN I HAVE

ALWAYS FELT.  I KNOW YOU LED ME TO THEM

BECAUSE YOU HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN CARE OF ME ,

 YOU CAN REST EASY I HAVE ALOT OF "NEW'

BROTHERS WHO LOVE ME AND FEEL MY PAIN.  I

NEVER HAVE TO BE ALONE AGAIN AND NEITHER DO

YOU .  I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU AND KNOW THAT

ONE DAY I WILL SEE YOU AGAIN THIS TIME WE WILL

NEVER BE APART AGAIN.

Love Cate XXXX
