I’m really going to miss my older brother Vince. He and I were very close just 2 years apart. We traveled together sometimes and had some good Adventures. He was very intelligent and independent. He was kind but sometimes a bit cynical. I feel like I’ve lost an ally. But I believe he’s still nearby. Jerome says he really liked Vince. He’s been very helpful to me.
