My beloved Brother (Raccoon;) I can't believe you're gone! We met way back in 1983, and became good friends right then. Our friendship lasted all these years, through a number of difficulties we both endured. You often referred to me as "your only friend', but I hope, and know, that that can't have been the case. You were of such an outgoing nature, and decency of character, that, like George Bailey; had far more, and loving friends, than you really knew. You'll always live in my heart and memories. I love and miss you. - Carmine
