You are the best brother anyone could have, life is not the same without you. You bought me my first trumpet and showed me how to play. I remember when we waited in line to see star wars for at least 4 hours. You took me to my first rock concert. I'll miss watching new movies with you. Love you brother, miss you.

My brother was the best he gave me my first trumpet and showed me how to play it. Life will never be the same without you. You took me to my first rock concert. I'll miss the way you laughed when we watched Mel Brooks movies. Love you brother, miss you!

My dear brother I miss you so much. I called you to see what you were making for dinner the other day. I am so lost without you. Never in a million years did I ever think I would have a life without you in it. I hope you know how much you are missed. I love you and hope someday the pain will lessen. For now there is a huge void in my life. First mom and then you. Tell mom hi for me and take care of dad. I love you Joey!!!!!
