This has been a very tough year without you brother. We all miss you very much. I know you are up in heaven watching over us and telling yourself I gotta remember to give her a hard time about that. ☺ I know you’re still up there making jokes! We will see you again and until then take care of mom and dad for us. ❤ Love you brother!
