Hello my brother. How is it up there in heaven? I hope it's like you dreamed. My brother, I will miss you a lot. You were my only brother, that's why I love you more than anything. No one-nor anything can break up our bond. Even though you're not here on earth physically, you are here in spirit. Now Big Brother, you don't have to worry about the future. I will always keep you in my heart. I love you very much.

Death is a heartache no one can heal
Memories are something no one can steal
Some may forget you are gone
But I will remember no matter how long
Gone is the face I love so dear
Silent is the voice I loved to hear
But my memories will last FOREVER.
I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART

Gerard you are very special to me
You always have been and will always be
As you move to a better place
My love for you occupies a special space
There are no words to express my grief But, I'm okay, because you 're at peace.
I
I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU DEARLY

My Son, you were my one and only.
.Y
There are not enough words 'to
express the Joy and Happiness you
given me. From the day you were
born to the~ day you said farewell,
we had a lot of good times and a
ew rough spots along the way. Be
it good or bad, I'll cherish those
moments and keep them close to
my heart. That is something no
one can ever take away from me.
So as you begin your journey home
and I say my farewells, I just
wanted you to know that you will always be my "Lilman ". I'm not saying
goodbye because I know you're always in my heart and we'll be together
again one day.
Hello Gerard, who would have thought I would be talking to you this way. I know we shared a lot ofgood memories. Memories of teaching you how
to play basketball, going swimming and having boys day out. IfI had to do
it all over again, I would without a doubt. Some people didn't understand the bond we had, but it was a special bond. I've told you plenty of times you remind me of myself when I was your age; that's why I tried to teach you right from wrong. Gerard I can't express the way I'm feeling right now, but I want you to know that I love you and you will never be forgotten.

To those who knew me and to those who didn't know me, please, please don't cry for me. I have lived the life I wanted to live and done the things I wanted to do and the things I was not suppose to do. So don't cry just keep your head up until we meet again at the cross roads. Just know that life on the other side is full ofsunshine. 1-7-02
