“Don’t Forget To Pray For Us”

Today is February 29, 2024. Today we buried the cremains of my brother Neal who passed away last March 17th.

“Death Shall be No More”

My brothers were born on August 17th, a year apart the same date. My mother once mentioned that she could have been induced and I would may have also been born on August 17th…..one birthday party for all three boys.
