It has been some time since I have written on your page. Time seems to fly by when folks are busy and tend to forget things. Just wanted to say you have not been forgotten. Your service to the Citizens of Maryland was an act of kindness and bravery. We oh you and Jenn a lot of thanks and gratitude. Please continue to watch over her. RIP brother.

Hey Uncle Duke,

You know when you passed, I was young. Not a day goes by where I don't miss you. When it happened I was too young to understand why it happened or what the cause really was. Today I decided to Google everything and I wish i didn't. It still blows my mind that you aren't here and it's almost been 12 years.

The only thing I can remember is having a break down in mom's bed, crying and wondering how Aunt Jen was handling everything.


You have missed so many things that I wish you didn't have to. Graduating, Brittney getting marry and now having a baby! Your other nieces growing into beautiful little women, and your nephew growing into a smart little man. You would be so proud of all of us and it just sucks you had to go so soon. You were our biggest fan growing up and I best friend.

I will never forget all of our memories, from visits at school, truck ride listening to country music, donut dates, and locking us up in jail.

You were such a loving and wonderful person and I am heartbroken that I can't share my life with you. I have grown into something I have never expected.

I hope your watching down on everyone every day. Please always remember you are missed and you are loved so much.

Recently took up cycling and my route (E/B East College Pky towards the Bay Bridge) takes me past your memorial sign on the shoulder of Rt. 50 W/B near Cape Saint Claire. I will always ensure that sign is clean and the flowers and American flags are in good condition.
RIP Brother

My Snookum,

Today is your 39th birthday and in five days from now what would have been our 20 year anniversary together. With everything additional going on right now has made thinking of these days worst. I've been mad at you lately thinking how you should be here taking care of me and can hear you saying, "What do you want me to do". I know time will make it all better and my family, our friends, and some of your amazing coworkers have been a great help and support. I just wish I had your arms to curl up into for comfort. I miss you with every beat of my heart and as I sit here writing this, as the Kenny Chesney song goes... I can't help but wonder, who you'd be today...

My brother was teasing Mary about baking cookies. I told the kids how you were the one who loved to baked cookies. I told them your favorites were M & M cookies. They are all getting so big!

I put the most decorations up outside this year, that I have ever, since you have been gone. I've been wanting to get the big tree out of the attic and decorate it, but then I feel sometimes I just want to get rid of it and buy a pre-lit. It hasn't seen a Christmas, since you put it away after 2003. I got rid of a lot of the ornaments and all of the lights. My mom was laughing at how Becky and I would go out after Christmas and get good deals on trees. Our tree was definitely one of those deals.

I have off this year for Christmas Eve and Day. Things will be different though, as even some of my childhood traditions, that you had partaken in with me, are forever changed. Last year I worked and had wilted salad for dinner and couldn't get home, because of the snow. Change happens, but thank goodness for wonderful memories.

Love and miss you always Snookums! Merry Christmas in Heaven!

Love,
Jenn

I will never forget the last words you spoke to me that morning, "I love you!". From pennies to butterflies to the perfect timing of songs I have not heard in a long time, there have been so many signs since your birthday to let me know you're still here. I brought you fresh flowers earlier and sat at my grandma's grave as well, since today is also the anniversary of her death. It never fails that when I go to visit her, I always tell her, "Now I understand".

While life has moved forward and on with many blessings, since you've been gone, I love and miss you just as much now as I did 9 years ago Snookums.

Love,
Jenn
