I was looking up how to call Duane today and saw he passed. No one told me :(
When we were young, Duane would fiercely stand up for me if other kids or even family had cross words to or about me. I wanted to call him today and let him know how much he meant to me for that. He was a wonderful cousin and I am so torn up I did not keep contact with him all these years. I loved you Cousin.
