Can not believe dear sweet baby brother that it has been five years since you left us broken hearted. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of and miss you. Hope you have found my adorable granddaughter Ellie in heaven and are keeping her in your beautiful and warm heart. I will miss you until the day I can be with you. Love you today tomorrow and forever.
