inscription reads: "Kuya Ino took care of you. the light shines kindly on him always. he and Daniel were good friends. When Daniel died *he* became your brother. You send money back when you can. you haven't spoken in a long time. you think of him every holiday. you think of them both."
[Daniel was my older brother who passed away]
