Dearest Lorrie, It's April 15, 2024 and this is the first time I've had the heart to look at your obituary. I stumbled upon it this morning; it is now 5:10. Maybe it wasn't an accident considering it's the anniversary of Duke's passing into eternal life tomorrow.
I don't have the words (and imagine me speechless) to express how much I love you and miss you. You were a real pest at times, but I alway loved you dearly. lol, lol If people think your taste in music is great, they oughtha see you roll a joint. Iol, lol. You introduced me to so many great artists, but I introduced you to the Pogues, remember? Posted Sayonara on Facebook for you. We will keep it a secret why you liked that one so much.
My heart and mind are filled with memories of you, from tiddly winks to Pink Floyd. I remember when I was a little girl, you made me a whistle out of birch. You would even let me play with your pocket knife. and made me a snow horse.
Just so you know, I still can't stand the Bruins. Jan gave me one of your Bruins' t-shirts. I kept it in my closet (I said to Jan, 'dead or not dead, I'm not wearing that' lol,, lol); I'm sure you're not surprised I said that. I can just imagine your comeback. I kept it in my closet for a few months then I had to give it to the Anglican church. lol, lol.
I cannot, cannot, cannot believe you are gone. I tell myself I will believe it when I see your grave, but I don't think I have heart to do that, not yet anyway. BTW, as you would have expected, I sparked one up for you on the day of your funeral. Move it on over because the fat dog is moving in .... into your grave when I go, my ashes and my dogs so make room for us.
Did mother introduce you to the Rocket yet? hee, hee. I wanted to put a Habs pin in your casket, but they wouldn't let me. lol, lol. I shall always remember the gift card you gave me for Christmas and what you said to me. Take care of my doggies. I know lil Zeke was at the end of the tunnel waiting for his best friend.
Unsurprisingly to you, I leave you with the words of the bard: 'Good night, sweet prince, and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest. I bid you adieu, my youngest, funnest brother. With all my heart can muster, I love you. Til we meet again OET. Til we meet again. Much love, Del xoxoxo
