My dear sweet baby brother, how I will miss your smiling face and your lovely voice. God knew best when he called you home, but this is a hurt that I thought I would never fell again this soon. It's been 2 years and 2 months since Jr. left us. Loosing two brothers in two years is just unbelievable. I will always think of you and love you with all my heart. God will help us through this Leroy, I know he will. It's so hard to say goodbye.
Until we met again your Big sister
