You always made me laugh and smile, my sweet brother when we spent time together! I will hold on tight and cherish our Brother/Sister Love and great memories! Freddy, I will always miss you and love you forever! Till I see your sweet face again. You're in heaven with Mom and JR. (POPO) and dad! "Rest in Paradise," my sweet brother.
