Sister To Brother
These are my final words to my Brother. They come so hard to write, but so easy to express
the love we had for each other. Larry, I was the joy of your life. and you were the center of my life Now, there is such an emptiness in mv life. I have no more "My Brother"for his keen wisdom in solving my problems, or just for that extra encouragement by telling me I can do
and be anything I want. Larry, you kept me looking the best and surrounded with the best. You took such good care of your little sister. There wasnt anything I ever thought I wanted that you didn t provide for
Your Little Sister. Two weeks ago, you told mama and daddy that when you were five years old. you all came home from church and you prayed for a little sister.
One week later, I was conceived. God answered your prayer.
When your pain grew more severe, we proved for God to take you Home. And once again. God came through and took
My Big Brother. God lias given and God has taken a Brother
that never ever will be replaced. Larry, we ve always told each other
how much we loved each other, so those words need not even be written.
>y Skvp, sleep, skvp My Big Brother
My Uncle Larry
I never got to roll in the grass and play softball with you, but I was able to be held in your arms and
listen to the sweet melodies you use to sing to me. Uncle Larry, I often ask about why you cant come home with us. My mama always said, "When you gel a little older youll understand. When she
finally told me God wanted you, I think I can understand that.
See Ya Later Uncle Larry
