My Little Brother, don't know if I'll ever fill the hole left in my heart, since you left us! Thank you for sharing an awesome childhood! I won't forget our matchbox cars and Hotwheels, and all the fun we had playing in the dirt! We did so much together, I wish we could have kept it going in our retirement years! I loved always talking to you on the phone, and I think that's what I'm missing the most right now! I'm sorry we didn't live closer and hang out more! Love you forever! My Best Friend Always! Rest In Eternal Peace my Baby Brother! Love you, More! - Your Big Bro! Now, go get yer shinebox!

To you my Little Brother- I will forever carry you in my heart. I wanted nothing more than for you to come out of all of this stronger. You fought the fight as long as you could. Now you can just rest easy and keep an eye out on us. I Love you so much. My heart aches. Til we meet up again Love you forever! your sister Blondie!
