To my big brother:
I thank you for all the memories, both good times and the bad; I thank you for the time we shared, while happy and while sad. I thank you for the laughter, and also for the tears; I thank you for the bond that we have forged throughout the years. For whether things were going well or there were things we had to mend, I knew we could count on each other, my brother, my friend.
I love you, and will miss you so much. Rest peacefully, and bask now in the Glory of God.
