Lalo a cherished sole;

You brought so much joy and influence into our lives. You made us laugh and sometimes cry, but no matter what, you always found the right thing to say or do. When ever you fell you would get back up, dust yourself off and continued. You have inspired us with all your positive and spontanious endevours. You will always have a place in our hearts. My friend, My brother forever. Oh by the way I'm still cleaning icing from the kitchen cabinets. You have done a great job with your boys and I'm sure they will always have that little bit of LALO to share with their children.

With all our Love
Marti, Richard and Chris

FOR MY LITTLE BROTHER

When we were young I followed you,
We played, we fought, and had fun a time or two. When we grew taller,
and thought we knew it all
and one of us would fall,
the other gave a helping hand
and said, watch the lay of the land,
see over there, you'll sink in quick sand. Then I went one way and you another,
and still, when we could,
we helped each other.
Now we are older, and once again we stand side by side
and shoulder to shoulder.
I've learned one thing,
you've learned another,
and we've both learned
there is no replacement
for one or the other.
