My Dear Brother Billy,
My heart breaks when I think about you not being here. I will miss the cards and phone calls we shared every birthday and Holiday.
I will always feel happiness though when I remember all the antics we got into together growing up.
I Love you Billy and am proud to call you my brother.
Until we meet again
All my Love,
Edie
