I don't even know where to begin. It has taken me a whole year to be able to do this, and its still a hard thing to do. I have been waiting for you to call me, and tell me this was one of your famous jokes. It was a test to see how many people really love you........Unit you know how much I loved you as a person, as well as a brother. Our bond was like as if we were biological brother's. You cross my mind every single day. I often laugh about the jokes we played on people to stop myself from crying. I often hear you asking me whats the tears for? I hear you telling me to stay strong. I will never forget all the fun times we had, as well as the good life conversations we have shared. You were the funniest guy that I have ever met. You were so cool to be around. You had the heart of a lamb. It is so much more that I can say about you but it will take years for me to truly express my appreciation for you being a part of my life for the past 19 years. I remember to this day when we were having a conversation about death, and you told me to look after your family, and we laughed about it. I didnt realized that it would have happened so soon, but as I promised you then, the same applies now, I will always be there for them. Your brother is every bit of you. He reminds me so much of you.He is everything you bragged about, and them some. I will continue to pray for you as well as them.
Love Always,

Nine years ago I met my twin, Whenever I lost he told me I could win. Whenever I fell he told me to get back up. Whenever his cup was empty he told me to fill it back up. My brother was a GREAT MAN, for nine years he held my hand. MEME I Love You and my Love for you will never stop because he always told me Eric keep rising to the top.

Revelation 21:4 states "He will wipe out every tear from their eyes and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be any more. The former things have passed away." My brother is sleeping for now, so it is not goodbye but I will see him later in the new system.

Denbrook BKA (Me-Me) One thing knowing Jehovah God helps ease the pain. My one regret is that we didn't keep in touch as often as we should have. We grew up together as cousins and he has always been in my heart, soul and mind. Our grandmother (Mother) always treated all of her grands like her children. I remember Me-Me and I trying to win her affection. My husband Ben, my children Tee, Megan and yours truly look forward to the ressurection to greet him. John 5:28,29

Hey Dad,
Footprints made in the sand, are washed away. Tracks made in the snow melt away through the days. But, the imprint of my dad etched in my heart will forever stay. I love you dad. I always have and always will. Love Delores.

Dad, I will always miss you. The fun we had together going to rye playland for family day. Cooking for us on your day off and letting me wear your chef's apron, that was cool! I love you Dad, Love Always, Dana

Honey, once a day and sometimes more, you knock upon my daydream door. I'll say warmly, "Come right in, I'm so glad to see you again." We sit and chat until some task I must do pulls me reluctantly away from you. MY BELOVED HUSBAND, I MISS YOU SO MUCH. LOVE ALWAYS, BINA

I will always remember Denbrook as a caring, sharing and loving human-being. An individual who would give the shirt off of his back, food from his plate and bring laughter to one's heart (his infectious laughter would make anyone smile or laugh-too). I pray that god gives comfort to his family and loved ones. Rest in peace my friend!
