My Brother was always a good and caring person. I never knew him to be a mean and uncaring person even with all his feelings some good some not so good I guess. But he always loved his children and always talked about them and was proud of them. All his bad memories are now at rest and will hurt not him anymore and his physical pain is now gone. Rest in Peace my Brother. Always Loved You and always will and I will miss you forever.
