My brother Skip ( and his wife) were there, after my Dad died, to support my mother and I to make the transition from Dad's death. Three years later, almost to the hour, my Mother passed, leaving myself lost and insecure for some time. Although we had a house at Valeda , where I would stay, I became a regular fixture at their house for about 2 years. They supported me in every way possible. There is no doubt that both of them understood the major insecurity in my life. Skip, at that time, was there any time that I needed to talk. I owe so much to both of them. Skip is now with family, including his(our) in-laws, who have been oh so close through the years. We have been a close family, although miles have separated us.He will be missed by many and my love will continue to grow for him and others who have been a large part of my life.It is such a blessing to have the family I have . Big brother, if you can hear me, I love You! Lanny
