I'll always remember how gentle and kind you were to me. Each time we spoke you were very thoughtful and concerned on my family's well being. God bless, you are in peace now.

My dearest brother,
You gave so much of yourself to so many, especially your parents. You were a tower of strength, yet rolled with the punches. Your booming infectious laughter brought so much joy and bolstered many a heart. You always saw the good in people and went out of your way to bring it out. You were ever so grateful for every kindness bestowed upon you. We loved having you visit and our four legged babies all adored you knowing there was always a cookie or a treat hiding in your pocket and knowing you would always share. You are now out of sight but will remain in our hearts forever. Until we meet again please pray for us as we will pray for you.
Missing you already,
Patty
XOXOXO
