drew,
years pass by quicker than we actually realize, and time has its way of getting lost, but I know that there is one thing that time can not change, and that is love, especially the love of a brother and sister. looking back on childhood memories always brought a smile and that special feeling of a brother sister love. time nor distance can never sever that special bond. although we have not seen each other in a while, the love has never changed. how could it? all I know is that God has taken one of the best and your work is needed else where. your humble,unconditionally loving and compassionate heart, { not to mention your humor} has been called to heaven for duty. i know your not truly gone, we just cant see you physically, but if we see the simple things in life, acts of kindness' a gentle smile' something funny..... there is where we will always find you, in heart. save me a place in the back seat of the red convertible.. one sits forward one sits back..... remember that? we all fit that way. I know we didn't get to tell each other this often in life but it only needed to be said one time, we didn't have to remind each other, we just knew, but.... I LOVE YOU DREW,GODS SPEED MY BROTHER, you earned your wings.

To my little brother Drew. My heart is sad to hear such news. Life has been unfortunate to us in the way that we were separated at such a young age. Fortunately your mother(my step mother) Sylvia,brought us together as adults to have the opportunity to reflect on days gone by and to create new memories. I recall and will always hold near to me the memories of childhood days playing in grandma and grandpas driveway, Willow Mill Park and Marco Polo in the pool. Your outgoing style, funny sense of humor and Big Caring Heart will forever be remembered. I LOVE YOU DREW,ALWAYS. Until we meet again, keep heaven smiling...
your sister Denise
