Eleven years. We were the two ROTC rejects in the company. A Howard Bison and an Ole Miss Rebel. I still remember sitting down on the edge of the parking lot at 30th Reception trying to strip our boots down so they'd shine to our standards. I remember you, me, and Moore stuck at Benning waiting for orders. I remember heared from you after you'd gotten hurt, but found a way to get that MSC commission. Your gold bars at last. We won't forget you, buddy. Just save a seat for me. I'll be along soon enough.

We mourn for you and miss you dearly. No words can describe the lost we feel with your passage. No comforts seem sufficient. There is no real understanding of how this can be. As I sit at my computer this morning, crying and grieving the loss of a GREAT man...my brother, I can only remember you as you were to me...consistent and just. You were more than just my brother. To me, you were the perfect mixture of Love, Honor, and Respect. I miss your voice. What I would give to hear you greet me once more with, "What up, Boo?" The enthusiasm in your voice, the clarity in your tone, the encouragement in your words. I MISS YOU BIG BROTHER and I thank you for being you. As the days continue to past, the letters, emails and phone calls are still pouring in. Some of your older friends are only now finding out. So many tears have been shed and are continuing to be shed. Things have not gotten easier. Your absence is present in our emptiness. And, as we attempt to get threw this (and so-called, move on with our lives), you will always be with us and your ultimate sacrifice will not be forgotten. Thank you for ALWAYS being there. You are and forever will be, one of a kind. "From the Line, For the Line!"

Being strong now, I must carefully move forward. We both sought out careers in the military and shared the same views on duty, honor, respect and love for family. I remember my little brother being smarter, faster and stronger than he let on... I learned patience from him. I am the Elder Brother. I cannot, WILL not falter. Our family needs strength now more than ever and I will always be there. I love you all. db Wed, 24 Jun 2009 08:37:24 -0700 https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/kafele-h-sims/#c15591 https://projects.latimes.com/wardead/name/kafele-h-sims/#c15591 well sir what can i say other than you were one hell of a teacher. i used to pick your brain to learn as much as possible to be a better medic. i am a better medic because i have trained under you!! you will be sorely missed.

So do your cousins, Erica, Kim, and Tiffany. We will miss you. There has been so much tragedy in our family within the last few weeks. I regret that we are physically not able to be there to share in remembering you. But there is one thing that you must always remember. You are loved. I long for the day to know your beautiful children. It's never too late. Love eternally, Auntie Joanne Tue, 23 Jun 2009 03:21:08 -0700
