Remembering you
Frankie, I remember that sad day, our family received word of your death. Johnny, wasnt back, from Vietnam long and was so upset when he heard. He was, so worried about Sandy. I remember, as a kid, you used to ride by the house on Friday evening, going to town and blow the horn. You and Johnny, are side by side, together, on our local war memorial, forever etched in stone. Strange, how cousins, can be killed in that order. You both paid, the high price with death. Rest in Peace, my dear cousin. I check your grave, with each visit, to make sure you have a flag when I visit, Johnnys grave.
