You will always be my little brother and I will miss you very much. We had our differences as most siblings do over the course of their lives, but for most of our childhood was pretty good. Take care of Mom, Dad and baby Samantha for me. Patti and I will be okay in time, we will never forget our brother. Love you little brother.
