Since the day you where born we have been inseperable.We been through so many things buttogether we got throughit all.It's been a year since you passed and I'm still at a lost forwords.There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of you and wonder how I'm suppost to goon living my life without you. We have so many good memories you always kept us laughing throughthe hard times. I can't believe your not here I don't understand why God would take such agood person at a young age. You had so many things left to do in life and so many people that loveyou and wanted to see you do good in life. There will never be another you in my life no one canever take your place.You knew me better than anyone I never held any secrets from you.We hadso many dreams that now I could never fulfill without you.I was too busy running around in thestreets. Living life the wrong way I robbed myself of years of memories with you and regret notbeing there for you. When you needed me the most.

I have a couple of more years to do but when this is over. I promise you I will be thereto watch your son grow. Making sure he remembers the great man his father was. Iwill never forget about you and you are always in my heart. We are brothers througheternity and beyond can't noone take that away from us. I live for you now and wontlet you or the family down. I pray that you are in peace now without worries ofthis world.We will see each other again but for now I got you brah till that day comes. I love youlook out for me from up above. You are a star in my eyes in life and in death.

Love your Brother, Manny
