"How I want to close my eyes and wish that terrible day away. Perhaps had I not found you, you would be here still today. I miss your chuckle given with that silly smirkey smile...I sure hope to see you again soon, my brother, even if just for a little while. I know you know its all alright, Darrin is still her with me. And he is as great as any big brother could be. I can hear what your saying....its time to let it all go....its just so hard, this pain so deep, no sibbling should ever know. What it all comes down to, dear brother, I did not want you to go. Love always and forever, your little sister."
In loving memory of
James Dean Hampshire
November 11, 1956 - September 18, 2012
