He was always there for me and did his best to help whenever he could. He had a heart of gold and even though I disappointed him by being a girl instead of a boy when Mom brought me home from the hospital , He was the best big-little brother a girl could every have. I use to wear all of his flannel shirts and he always would say," Leave me a clean one will Ya?" I will miss him a bunch!
