Every single day, I pray to the Lord so the love that's inside of my heart reaches your soul big brother. I love you and miss you so much. God Bless you.

Missing you JR! You were a great friend and I will always keep you in my heart. May you Rest in Peace my friend. Miss you dearly!

I will never forget you. You are always in my prayers my friend.It has been a year but missing your voice and laughter, it saddens me still.
You friend forever
Doug

Miss hearing your voice JR. I know you are in a better place and you are not forgotten.

Safely Home,

I am home in heaven dear ones oh so happy and so bright there's a perfect joy and beauty in the everlasting light all the pain and grief is over every restless tossing passed

I am now at peace forever safely home in heaven at last
Did you wonder I so calmly Trod the valley of the shade ?

Oh! but Jesus' love illuminated every dark and fearful glade.
And he came himself to meet me in that way so hard to thread .

And with Jesus arms to lean on could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely for I love you dearly still

Try to look beyond the shadows pray to trust our father's will
There is work still waiting for you so you must not idly stand;

Do it now while life remaineth you shall rest in Jesus land ,

When that work is all completed
He will gently call you home

Oh, the rapture of that meeting,
Oh the joy to see you come.

On December of 2013 I gave my brother two gifts for his birthday he always mentioned that he had been cheated out of a gift because his birthday was on the 24th of December .One of the gifts I gave him was a 2 inch by 2 inch book; 
The title is a little bit of love for you brother. Little did I know, the following month I would receive the devastating news that he had pancreatic cancer. the one thing that I do know is that I was able to express my love for my brother through this book that I purchased for him. This was the dedication I wrote;
For my brother JR who has always been by my side even when we were far our connection had no boundaries.
Love sister Carmen

Our lives and dreams have follow different roads but the bond of family we share always remains strong and so very important to me your happiness is a wish I carry for you everywhere I go I've been thinking about you, brother
and I would love for you to know something...
I think you are a pretty wonderful guy and I know I don't tell you often enough how much you mean to me and how much you always have you're someone I dearly love. I think of you a lot and one thought has crossed my mind so many times is that...of the millions of brothers in the world...I somehow managed to be blessed with the best one of all.
We forged a bond that time cannot erase and we share a secret smile that the world will never understand, we grew up, but we never grew apart...I know how hard you work and I see all the things you did for the people you love, what a wonderful person you have become.
I feel so secure knowing that you are always ready if I need you to protect me to help me or just to talk to me I hope you know that I am always here for you also it is such a nice feeling to have someone with whom you have grown up stay in your life forever with strength with understanding and with love.
I wish for you an adjustable attitude one that doesn't react but responds with well thought out actions and feelings.

I wish for you beauty in your surroundings and in nature and excitement with new things to enjoy and learn and experience...

A brother is many things through the years an ally, a rival a partner in crime and sometimes an enemy. But most of all a brother is a friend...

The true measure of a man is found in his faith and in his heart, the friends who stand by him, the strength he displays under pressure.
It's found in his willingness to reveal Vulnerability in the truth of his words the genuineness of his life,his unselfish actions,
the values he lives by...he is a promise that tomorrow will always be ok When you have someone as precious as he is you have a very unique family and friendship bond that will last a lifetime through.

Thank you for all you have been to me I could have never asked for want or need a better brother because I have the best in you.
I love you forever missed my brother JR.
