Duaine-I know it's been over a month and I'm sorry I haven't written to you yet. It's hard to write down feelings, as you know with poetry & get them just right. However, I know I need to write you a note and say goodbye...for now. I know you are no longer in the "physical" world but I feel your presence every now and then. It breaks my heart to watch your Mom, Alexis, Ken, Michael, Debbie, Shawn & so many others break down from time to time. I know I have broken down a few times myself. I do feel in many senses you are still with all of us, having taught us how to love each other. I never told you how much you meant to me and I need to do it. I wish I would have done it when you were with us, but I won't live my life with regrets. I will tell people how important they are to me and how much I love them. With your example of loving others unconditionally, you have set an exapmle for me to live by. I do want to tell you that you did become my little brother over 11 years and you have always and will always mean so much to me. I thank God (or who/whatever you want to believe in) for having us become family. I am having a hard time writing this because I keep crying, but I want to tell you that I love you so much & that you will always be in my heart and your spirit will always be with me. Love, Jon-Until I meet you on the other side...

Duaine, I will never forget that night when we were in 5th grade and you sang *On bended Knee* to me. Then when we hooked up on fb and you remembered and said what you said. That will always mean a lot to me. Until we meet again! RIP

* *Love you Duaine ~ till we meet again* *
We little knew the day that
God was going to call your name.
In life we loved you dearly,
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you
but you didnt go alone.
For part of us went with you
the day God called you home.
You left us peaceful memories.
Your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you ~
you are always at our side.
Our family chain is broken
and nothing seems the same,
but as God calls us one by one
the chain will link again.
