Reflections
My baby brother, I miss you so much, it never goes away. After all these years it hurts as much as the day you were taken from us. I miss hearing you play the guitar and singing (every now and then I play your tape of "Lord I'm in Your Pocket" just to hear your voice. Chicago doesn't know what a GREAT guy they lost that day, but God knew and I'm sure that's why He took you back, to be in "His Pocket". Keep watch over me and help keep me safe until we are together again. All My Love, All My Life --Retired P.O. Patty Clarke p.s. Say Hi to Mom, Dad and Bobby for me!
