Hey Joe, still missing you and wish you were here! Remember how you liked to hide fake body parts behind the couch and in doorways? I glad I had you for a brother!

Missing you brother! Hard to believe I'm now a couple of years older than you were when you passed. Much too young, brother. Much too young. I love you.
