April 1957 ~ March 2009
My dearest brother as I sit here this morning watching the sun come up and listening to the birds sing all I can think of is you are sitting in God's garden right now talking up a storm, telling everyone all about your beautiful wife, children and grand babies.
You are surrounded by all of those that loved you and were waiting for you to come home.
I know I've told you at least a million times how much I love you but did you know you were my friend? Did you know that I treasured you, that even though you drove me crazy in true big brother fashion that I thought you hung the moon and the stars ?
Yes you knew, you knew everything.. that's what made you the best big brother ever.
May the Lord make your love increase and overflow.
1 Thessalonians 3:12
No truer words ...
your love was always true, strong and steady. Overflowing and increasing everyday.
When I look into the faces of your children, when I hold those beautiful grands I feel your love.
We miss you, so stay close bubba ..
Devereaux and I will take care of daddy, momma, Debbie and the kids you just remember to give Cricket a poke every now and then.
Thank you for being my brother, thank you for teaching me how to love unconditionally,
thank you for being you.
With all my heart & soul I love you, your little sister, Cherry

I know how you feel. I'm sending strength your way and a time of healing. I lost my little brother to brain cancer a few years back. I promise you will never forget how close you are to your brother. It won't go away. You'll feel his love every day. He lives on inside all of you. You'll learn to cope but you will never ever forget the sweet memories. I promise. He'll be with you all forever.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your brother. He sounds like a great man.
