I will miss my brother so much. I love you Skip!! I Love the family!
Rest in peace! I will see you again!
I love you both dearly and I’m so sorry for your loss. I will never forget how he made me laugh with his dry sense of humor and how irritated he’d get at us always talking about dogs.
Rest well in your Saviors arms my friend. We will see you again.

May God grant us the peace as we all take time out for the loving memories
