I remember the time my brother Jimmie taught me how to water ski. I was around 10 yrs old. I was petrified, because I didn’t know how to swim! He told me not to worry, because the life jacket would hold me up, and I wouldn’t drown. So with his encouragement, I got up on the skies, and was actually skiing. I did it, thanks to him, and it was exciting! You will be so missed my dear brother. Say hi to Don, Dorothy, and MOM! Until we meet again. I Love You, Your Sister Shirley❤️
