Dear Baby Brother,
Thanks for being the best brother, uncle, brother-in-law, husband, father and grandfather ever! I saw so much of our dad in you. Your love was felt whether you were in person or by phone. You were such a genuine person. A person that encouraged, inspired, and loved me. You were transparent and I appreciated that about you. Every moment we shared and every conversation we had, I will hold dearly in my heart. You will be missed! You have now taken your rightful place. Go, although I was not ready, go and continue to be great. R.I. P.
