I just can't believe that God has taken you from us so quickly. I miss you everyday skip. I'll miss talking on the phone to you and playing Words with Friends. It was always a challenge to play with you. You put down words that I never even heard of. But I know you're up there in heaven with Mom and Dad and Uncle Ed and Uncle Hugh. You all can reminisce and tell stories. I Will Always Love You in my heart and in my heart you will stay. You were one in a million brother, one of a kind. When God gave out babies to Mom , I'm glad that you and I got put in the same family.
