My Mom told me to say goodbye means that we will never see someone again, so I choose to tell you see you later because we will see each other again in heaven. I will miss you so much and it hurts that I couldnt see you or hear your voice before God called you home. I will tattoo your name on my heart because forever there is where you will stay!! I LOVE YOU!!

In my father"s house there are many mansions,I am sure your name is on one of them,prepared by Jesus just for you even before he came and received you so that you can be where he is. Jesus said he is the resurrection and the life. I know you believe in him,so although you died, yet shall you live.
I believe this so much that I am confident you are ok,in good hands, but yet my heart is so broken and it seems my life has stood still.R.I.P my BROTHER!

You been my hero since I can remember, my life will never be the same without you.I remember you was the first in Winston-Salem to have a banana bike. We both married, had a boy then a girl all about the same age, we both drove trucks. I have truly lost a big part of me,(YOU)! You beat cancer,hepatitis and made it back from Germany.I remember when you gave your life to Christ and we shared scriptures, you had great faith. I just want to say good-bye now and I love you, I know I will see you again soon!
