Missing You
Everyday I look into your eyes within a photograph that hangs on our wall and I see my handsome brother and think of how things could have been, your Mother who is 89yrs of age in excellent health but always will have the hole in her heart from the loss of her son. We love and miss you every day and are so proud when we drive down David A. Drown Blvd., which I always say"Hey Bro, wish you were here". Forty years have passed and we picture that young man hitchhiking a ride to the recruiting bus............you are with us every minute of the day. Forty years of hugs and kisses to our hero. "Lil Sis"

Dave and I grew up on Sconticut Neck, hanging out in the woods,down by the sea wall,or sometimes playing football in the field. I can still picture him standing on the causeway bridge during the hot summer days. it was the best place to catch the ocean brezze and check-out the girls going for a swim. Dave died while I was in Army training. He gave his life so others could live in Freedom. rest in Peace Brother. Roger
