He was straight. If he wanted to talk to you he would. If he did not want to talk he was silent. I was not his caregiver. I cooked. I would go visit him in his room as soon as I arrived at work. He would tell me when he was hungry. Others were amazed that he talked to me and not many others. I would look into his eyes and almost always know what he wanted. He loved music. I will miss him.

Thinking of you today, one year later.  I think of you every day and miss you every day.
Today I smile remembering all the fun times we had as children growing up in a house with 6 kids! We have been sharing pictures today of so many great times and celebrations of our lifetime. We will continue to celebrate life and will keep you in our hearts forever.  Love Linda

Thinking of you today on your 72nd birthday.
Phil turned 61 today.  We are hoping to get together soon to celebrate.
It has been a crazy 2 years.  Lisa and John were married, but this virus pandemic kept me from being able to go. Hopefully I will get there by this summer and see everyone and give lots of hugs.

Mikey, another year has passed since you started another journey.  I remember you everyday, laughing  often thinking of you and your incredible sense of humour.  I look at your picture and see both Lisa and Jeff.  
If their is a rock ‘n roll heaven, I bet you and Jeffrey are having a great time laughing and loving all those who have joined you.  I miss you big brother!

We watched old Kodak movies dating back to your birth and laughed and cried.
Susan made a USB key for every family.
So beautiful to watch the love all around and the simple times.
You are so missed and always loved??

Thinking of you and remembering all the good times we had growing up and the new memories made when you moved to California. I hope to get there soon to see Lisa and Jeff and Pat. Spring has arrived here so I am trying to get the outside in order before I go.  I am on my own now so so much to do, but I am managing and I am happy once more.  On starry nights I look up and think of you.xoxo

Wow Mikey another year!  Another birthday to remember. You were born 74 years ago to a very proud mom and dad, who loved you so much.  11 years later to the day Philip made his entry into the Read family circus.  You have a beautiful grandson, Julian Read,
