To my baby brother,
As I struggle with the fact that you are no longer here,
I am at a loss for words. Only a few days have passed
since you left us, and the void is already too great.
We have experienced many wonderful and difficult
times together. Sometimes we couldn't agree, and
other times we were inseparable, laughing till our
sides ached. You were my brother, though, and I
cherished you despite everything.
I can still clearly recall the wonderful times, the
adventures we had, the secrets we kept, and how you
never failed to make me smile. I cherish those
recollections since they serve as a reminder of our
relationship.
Of course, we too had our arguments and
challenging times. However, a bond that was
unbreakable existed even in those days. We grew up
together, learnt from one another, and, in the end,
supported one another no matter what.
I cannot adequately convey the manner in which
your presence in my life influenced me. I wish we had
more time to just be together, to make amends, and
to make more memories. Despite the difficult times, I
hope you understand how much you meant to me.
My darling brother, may you rest in peace. I will
always have you by my side, appreciating the
positive and growing from the negative. I shall
always carry your soul with me.
With all of my affection, Pat
Sewell Mortuary is honored to be entrusted with providing end-of-life services to the family of Leroy Godfrey.
