Damn Sheldon! U.s. just posted a picture of you on Instagram and it brought back soooooo many memories. I cant believe it's been seven long years since you passed. My little spirit is crushed writing this. I truly hope your soul has rested in peace and that your family is coping better with such a tragedy . Just know you are not forgotten and we all miss you! Rest up big Baby!

Wow, It has been 7 whole years you've vanished from my life. It feels like you're on a long vacation and just one phone call away ! I miss you so much and its not a day that goes by I don't think about you. Still living in the same house we grew up in. I miss you dearly brother. No one probably comes on this page anymore, but I do because you meant so much to me, and still do ! We are all growing up so fast and things have been completely different without you. I wish you were here to see me accomplish all of these goals. Graduated from high school, In college, and starting my career in 2 years. I know if you were here you would push me even harder to get where I plan on being. You were one of a kind ! i LOVE YOU MORE THAN LIFE ITSELF !!
Love Chasity,
Imy Big Brother,,Blowing My Bigggg Kiss To Yhu

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
