It’s been over 32 years now. Brian and Brady are grown men. You have a granddaughter named Braxton. She has your and Brian’s initials. You have been reunited with so many of your family. I know your parents were so happy to see you again. The rest of us still miss and love you. I know you are proud of the boys. So many still remember you. I love you.
