"I am going to miss you Brian. Many special memories going back almost 61 years! My Big Brother from day one! My protector, my very first best friend. We grew up inseparable, that is until we became adults. Many thought we were twins. I called you Boo Boo, until school age. Then I called you Brian....never called you Frank! That just never fit in my eyes, you where Brian, my Big Brother! As I look back I have only one regret, not staying close as we had been in our youth. I missed out on more memories we could have had. I love you Brian,I will certainly miss our birthday phone calls. Please give my love to Mom, Dad, Papa, Grandma and all the rest of our family there in Heaven. I know I will see all of you again one day.... Love always, Sissy"
In loving memory of
