Dear Manuel,
I am having an especially hard time this year. I miss you so so much. When you passed on everyone said to me "It'll get easier as each year goes by" but I didn't believe it then and I know now that it doesn"t. I find myself crying all the time lately. The pain in my heart is so deep! I miss our talks over coffee ,I miss you living with us, I miss your smile,laughter,jokes, but most of all I miss the uncanny way you had of making me feel good about myself. You were truly an " angel here on earth"I LOVE AND MISS YOU MY BROTHER, MY ANGEL! Your sis forever, Margarett
