View all 95 ReflectionsMy dearest cousin/brother. Our hearts continue to be heavy although we know God decided you had done all he sent you to do. Your laughter, your smile, your seriousness is all missed so much. Our family gatherings that we cherished so dearly will NEVER be the same. Our lives are all somewhat emptier without you. You made each of us so proud with your endless sacrifice to DPD & your family. God rest your soul. Until we meet again. I Love You
