To My Brother as children we're always for each other. Some where
along the ways you decide stop. Everytime we would talk I would say that we got to stay in touch, you laugh and say you know that you love me. I was very proud of all that accomplishment. How we used to laugh about we both did. I saw this and I thoughts of you "There's an open gate at the end of the road. Through which each must go alone, and there is alight we cannot see Our father claims his own, and there is comfort in the thought that a loving God knows best, Farewell and peace to a very special brother, R I P My love, Your Sis, Carolynn
