Tessie Mandeville, from the low country of South Carolina, was just coming into her own when her beloved younger brother was senselessly murdered by so-called "friends."  He was within days of moving west to join Tessie in San Francisco, but their dream of reuniting was stolen.  They were both in their twenties.  The loss of a sibling, represents the loss of the person who shares the most DNA with us on the planet. It leaves a scar that is forever visible.
