Dear brother, my heart is aching because you are gone. you and I have always had a special bond, Ialways looked forward to seeing you and spending time together. even if we were only sitting on the front porch talking and remenbering the old days. I loved you for your gental kindness, your great sense of humor, and your deep love and devotion to your family. You were blessed to have a wonderful wife, that was at your side, always, And a son that was the pride and joy of your life. I will always love you, And miss you every day of my life. Some day we will be together again, until then save me a chair on the porch. Rest in peace my sweet brother. love you, and will always miss you, Your sister Rita
