THE WALL OF FACES

Ronnie, Wow, 76! So many missed birthdays. You would likely have been a greatgrandfather by now. And a great uncle to my grandkids. We would have had the kind of family reunions we went to as kids. Watermelon spitting contests & hand cranking the ice cream. We'll celebrate again some day. Kenny & his son are with you, mom, dad & all the grandparents. Tell everyone I love them until I get there, too. Love, Vicki

Never forgotten.

HOOAH

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from your sister Vicki is especially poignant. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever...

On the remembrance of your 74th birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Will be out to see you and the rest of your fallen comrades soon.

HOOAH

Today you would have turned 73. You would be a father, grandfather, maybe even a great-grandfather. Sadly, that never happened. You were, however, a fantastic brother to all of us. You brought 2 families together and made 4 kids become 6. You were our glue. We stuck together because you showed us how back when you were only 17, wise beyond your years. You watched over me, your little sister. I was allowed to play baseball & football with the neighborhood gang even though I was a girl, 4 years younger, because you were the leader everyone followed. You approved of my high school boyfriend, who I married just after you were buried. We celebrated our 50th anniversary in March. 50 years we've all missed you. You are still talked about, we remember your jokes, your pranks, how you made everyone a friend. 50 years, a half century, but someday we will all be together again for eternity.

Love you big brother, Vicki
