Dedications 1
To my dearest brother. I miss you so much, even after all these years. I look at your photo on my desk every day. It is wonderful to have a reincarnation of you in my son. He is the exact replica of you, your beautiful blue eyes, your blond hair, your big hands, your ugly feet, your knees, your personality. I am blessed to have him and a part of you. I miss you every day. I am so eager to find out what happened to you, but I am hitting a brick wall where-ever I go. Yet I am still determined. I love you. Jeanette van Onselen (sister)
