In memory of a
special Brother
So full of loving deeds
who always thought
of others first and helped fulfill their needs.
Someone who loved
to bring a smile
as he went on his way
And never failed to
brighten up a
dark and gloomy day.
Brother you meant
so very much
in every single way
and you're remembered
with much love
today and everyday.
