Although I did not meet Stafford or was too young to remember him, I would have liked to know all of you. Family is something I never reallyl knew but is still so important to me, you cannot realize. I did finally meet my brother Ricky and my sisters Marilyn and Debra (Kathy was with me most of the time). Being so far away still holds an emptiness most will never know. So cherishing your brother's memory means a lot to me too.

I didnot know at the time that Dap was sick. But, even though He didnot feel good, He continued to cut my grass. I took care of my Brother when He became ill, and I did so until he died. It was a pleasure to care for him, and I believe He would have done the same for me. He died of Lung Cancer. I believe I made his last days here on Earth easier tobear.
