How me and you would play outside. Oh we had so much fun. I wish that tragic day would of never happened. But I guess god needed you. So all I have to say is I love you and you will always be in my heart. And keep watching over the family.

Hi brother,

I miss you so much. I have been thinking of you a lot lately. I feel so lost. Things would be so much better if you were here. I long to see your face, with the smile that could turn anybodys day around. I wish I could hear your voice and your contagious laughter. You were such a beautiful person. I dont know what to do with myself lately. I talk to you and wish that you could give me all the answers like you used to but, all I hear is silence. I hope your still proud...

When you died my whole
World came crashing down
On me
I see you in my dreams,
Everywhere I look are the
Memories of you
It's been 5 long years, but
It still feels like yesterday
That I lost you forever
I blamed myself, but I learned
That God needed you more than
We did, but why then?
I've been wishing I was dead for
A long time now, so I can join you
Up in heaven, is it really that?
Beautiful?
The day you died my...

I know that no matter what
You will always be with me.
When life separates us
I'll know it is only your soul
Saying goodbye to your body
But your spirit will be with me always.
When I see a bird chirping on a nearby branch
I will know it is you singing to me.
When a butterfly brushes gently by me so care freely
I will know it is you assuring me you are free from pain.
When the gentle fragrance of a flower catches my attention
I will know...
