PETER ESPOSITO

IN LOVING MEMORY OF MY BROTHER

Forever in my heart your memory is kept -
to love, to cherish, to never forget.

Remembering you is easy, I do it
everyday but missing you is a
heartache that never goes away.

If I could have one lifetime wish -
one dream that could come true,
I'd pray to God with all my heart,
for yesterday, and you.

Of all my blessings, however great or
small, to have you as my big brother
was the greatest gift of all.

Everyone knows that mom and I were
the "apple of your eye" and your
love for us was one of deep devotion.

Peter, that beautiful bond
will never be broken.

For those of you who still have your
brother, treat him with tender care.
You will never know the emptiness,
as when you turn and he is not there.

Loved with a love beyond all telling.
Missed with a grief beyond all tears.

Love Madeline.
