Feli, Yvonne, Rahnee, Hope and Darius. I’m remembering my brother Rick. He was great big brother. We traveled all over with our fathers military career. I never forget how he saved me from the mean boys at Ft.Wingate in NM. He listened to the best music and we had some great times. Off he went to the service and I saw him rarely. Expected in a military family. Hard to believe he’s gone. Hugs to you all. Love Diana
