Little Brother let me be the first to say that I miss you so much and my heart aches for you. Writing this obituary and going to put it into the paper was the hardest thing to do. I was seating there realizing that all this is true, I couldnt believe I was there doing that for you. You were tooken to soon, but I have comfort that you are in a better place now and are resting. I love you my BamBam!!!!!!!!
