Dear Duane,

I can't believe that it has been 2 years since you left this mortal probation. You were the best example of hard-work, unconditional love and sacrifice. I learned so much from you and felt loved by you, my big brother. No one could ever have ordered up a better big brother. One of the last things I learned from you was sacrifice. You taught me no matter how difficult anything was, it was worth doing if you did it for "them." Recently, I struggled with the decision to accept a new calling, they called me to be in the nursery -- again. This will be the 3rd time in the last 6 years. However, following your example of sacrifice and love I honored our Heavenly Father and accepted the calling because I was "Doing it for Zack." Already I understand why I was called to this position and I am so grateful that I did. I am attacking it with enthusiasm and dedication. Thank you big brother for the many, many things you taught me.
