I don't have any words to describe the hole in my life that you leave. I will miss you terribly. Growing up, you were my hero, my best friend. I'm grateful for the traits you passed on to me and you will forever live on through those. I love you papa bear. You now have the peace you always wanted.

Rest in Peace my dear brother. I already miss you but find comfort knowing you are no longer suffering. Until we meet again and can stroll along white sandy beaches and listen to ocean waves. Love you forever. Sis
