Came to see you today. You look so peaceful. Like you were just taking a nap. As i have told you many times before my brother. I was so proud of you being a single father to those 2 beautiful girls. You were always there for them. I am so happy you found true love with Wendy before God took you home. RIP my brother. I love you.
