I couldn’t have wished for a better big brother than Larry. I cherish those summer days he took the lead, for us siblings, bicycling to the Bonnie Brae swimming pool.
I knew when he lit up the charcoal cooker on the back patio, we were going to have the best burgers ever!
Vacations to Six Flags Over Texas were a blast with Larry in charge!
A brother is a little bit of childhood that can never be lost.
