A poem for my brother John and my family I wrote this on 10/22/14 at 6am - Called my brothers hat - I found my brothers hat today - , I wish he could have stayed - but I knew God would send me a sign to let me know he's ok - because of this I want to say as I know that John would have done - if you don't know God - please do it today - because he gave His only Son. Love you all
