To my dear brother, even though we were far apart living wise, you know that i was only a phone call away. You will be missed by all that knew you back in the day, while living in Markham and by those people you met and touched their lives during the years you lived away. We all loved you and will miss you in our lives.
Love, your Sister, Debbie
