    how do I say good bye to the person I idolized growing up. You where not only my cousin, the brother I never had, and my friend and my friends friend. Lots of memories..you hiding in the high tension lines when we played hide an seek at my parents house. The time down at nana J's house you where throwing rocks into the water and I turned to see what you where doing and a rock hit me in the mouth and some random woman started yelling at you and was hitting you with her pocket book and I was crying not from getting hit by a rock because some lady was hitting you. There's are so many memories. I will always carry you in my heart. We love you.
