I will miss you Brother, oh so very much, how I will miss you. You were one of my best friends, I looked up to you, so many times you helped me through difficult times in my life. To say thank you for all the times you helped me through a rough patch ( and there were many) well, it just doesn’t seem like enough. I will hang on to the good times, we had so much fun together, we worked together and you showed me how to solve the challenges when they faced us, taught me not to give up, “where there’s a will, there’s a way” you told me this often. You were a star in my life.
So here, as I say “Goodbye Brother” you will still be a Star in my life, just now, I will have to look up to the heavens to see you. R.I.P. Good Brother, you will forever be in my heart.
Till we meet again.
So sorry to hear about your loss Carol. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. Please don’t hesitate to reach out in this time of sorrow.
