Thirty four years past, big brother, they made you play the lotto, and you bought the farm. John Wayne, God, and apple pie. Nothing can ever yet stop the tears. I know you wouldn't want me to cry, as if you could, you'd kick my butt. I'll take care of mom the best I can. Miss you, Jim.

Your little brother
"Bosco"
