Larry, another July approaches making it now 36 years since your death.
Just wanted to say something -
thinking of you always and sorry too that I did not keep my promise to visit your folks when I got back.

I couldn't do it, Bro, I thought they would never understand why I was there and you weren't.
Love and miss you eternally.

I learned a little while back to let you go.
As closure was needed I wrote you a letter.
I know that you got it ... and read it.
I think you understand, but I will never forget you.

From a friend,
Thomas Hughes
