God saw you getting tired. So He put His arms around you and whispered "Come to Me." With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

Big bros i still don't understand why you left us but as usual we can't question God. The life you lived was one everyone would forever remember though it was short but the memories of how well you spent your time on earth is something that would forever be in our minds. I guess i'll just be patient until the day comes when i can talk again with you. Farewell dear brother!!!
