Most Recent Reflection
View all 14 ReflectionsYou were my cousin. I remember knowing you when we were growing up. You were older than me, but always so good to me.
When I visited from R.I., I usually stayed overnight at your house. I remember going on your paper route with you and other things.
Then WWII came and I went in the Navy and you went in the Marine Corp.
Now I live in Plymouth and I am 97 years old. Wish you were here too.
