l'm going to miss you big brother, you will always be in my heart.
No more pain brother and no more sorrow.
l will see you when l get there. Time here is only to borrow.
Rest in heaven, please tell everyone l said hello.
l Love you so much and l wasn't ready to let you go.
l will miss your calm demeanor and your sweet smile.
l will never forget everything that you taught me, since l was a child.
Most of all l will miss you sing .
But know that you are the wind beneath my wing!
Love, your favorite sister, Sharon
