The love I have for you shall never end, although I know that you are in a better place. I often think about our yester years and wonder where time has went, it gives me great comfort to know that you are with the ones that left us behind so many years ago. I remember the year we all got bikes for Christmas, it was you that taught me how to ride, I just want to thank you for being such a great brother and I can go on and on about you and your Devine heart. Say hello to grandma and granddaddy but most of all just let mom know that you made it back to her safe and sound and that the rest of us will see you'll soon enough.
Dorothy
