Goodbye Sonny Boy
Heaven has called yiu leaving so many words left to say. I'm sure we all have some and regrettably we say goobye and honor you today.

Being the oldest you accepted this role so graciously, loving us, giving advice, visting, making us laugh, protecting us and being our friend.
Regrets and wishes are probably there too, but loving, lasting forever and ever are wonderful memories of you.

There have been times that we disagreed, but we were there for each other with a helping hand and a willing heart.

Seeing your body become so weak and frail, we prayed for you to get on that heavenly trail. God called you saying servant no more. You have faught a good fight, you have finished the race.

Regrettably its time to say goodbye, We will always have memories of our big brother and a friend. May our love for you reach heaven above until we me again.

Love you SONNYBOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
