In my mind there lies a beautiful bouquet of memories.But now they have been sprayed with so many tears.Oh how I wish that GOD could have spared you.If only just for a couple more years.It doesn't have to be any special kind of day for me to think you and Dad. So with each Mass I hear.And each prayer I pray It is offered up for you Little Brother.I know that I can't bring the old days back.When we ALL played together as kids .Now our family chain has been broken . But the memories of you Little Brother will live with me forever.Rest in Peace Manuel And Rest In The Loving Arms Of Our Father Your Brother Louie Leyva III
