My Dear Brother, you were always my inspiration. I always said if he can do it, then I can too. We not only shared the same blood, but also the same values and beliefs about the world. Our hearts were one, always beating harmoniously together even when we were far apart. I LOVE YOU ALWAYS! Memories are not enough to fill the void that this tragedy has created. What do I do now, dear brother,what?

We are all very sad and completely caught of guard with this happening, my thoughts and prayers are with you during this hard time in our lives.
