My sweet brother, I am at such a loss for words. I will miss your smile, laughter, singing, parental advice, and love for everyone you met. You and I shared a special bond and we even looked alot alike. As I reread our private messages, chats and gifs that we shared you still today were able to make me laugh. Thank you. You have a special place in my heart and I will love and miss you and keep your memory alive. Until we meet again, "Rock & Roll"
