You had a few more nephews since then. They love you and miss you as much as we do. I don’t think a single day goes by that I don’t think of you. Yesterday was harder because I know that’s when you died and I torture myself thinking of you doing it and wonder why you just didn’t call like you often did when you were upset. I always called you my angel, my gift from God because I didn’t think I would have any other kids. I love you so much and miss you terribly ???
RIP with Honor and Respect
