I cannot forget Francis. He was my neighbor and the older brother I never had. He died two months before I went to Vietnam. I was in training and was not able to attend his funeral. I always looked up to him like an older brother, even when we got in a fight. Vaya con Dios, Francis. Don Wyman.
This remembrance is written to a man that I never had the chance to know. He was taken from this world before I was even born. My mother is his 1st cousin, and remembers him to this day with great reverence and respect. I wish that I would have been given the chance to know him, but war took that chance away from me. Jodi Dent, He is my mom's 1st cousin.
