Remembering your smile and good looks today brother. You were and always will be my favorite brother because we clicked from the beginning of our lives and loved each other dearly. Rest well my brother.

Remembering today all those hot summer days playing in the sun, remembering our talks and laughs as we got older. Remembering your smile and those beautiful eyes. You were so kind and always brotherly. I miss you more than words can say. I am glad that we had the time together to grow up and to share wonderful memories. Rest in the arms of Jesus my friend. I will always love you.

Aunt Edith, Thomas Lee, Dennis, and Debora,
There are no words that can express the heartbreak of a Loss. Praying that Christ places His Loving arms all around you during this time and time to come.

Tho' the clouds may hang over, there shall be a brighter day, in that land they call Heaven, God shall wipe all tears away.

With deepest sympathy,
