Rest in peace my sweet friend and self-made big brother. You have been a constant in my life (and my mother's) ever since I met your little Sis, Penny, back in the 7th grade. I was blessed to be able to spend sometime with you during your last week here on this earth and enjoyed our conversations.
You were (and still are) such a sweet sole and you adored my mother and treated her like your own. She too loved you and enjoyed going to your home to visit and also to rummage through your big beautiful vegetable garden each year to get those wonderful tomatoes. I'm sure she was waiting for you when you entered Heaven's Gate and greeted you with the biggest hugs and kisses. You, my friend, will truly be missed. Love you always and forever,
