Brother, I said goodbye to you tonight. But, it doesn't seem real. You can't possibly be gone. I'll miss your wonderful sense of humor and your golden smile. I'll miss your phone calls checking in on me and telling me how much you love me. You were an amazing big brother...You were always our protector and always made us feel safe. Rest safely in the arms of God brother. I cannot wait until the day I will see you again in heaven. Love you more then words can express. Death cannot separate our love or our bond with one another. Until we meet again. So long!
