He was an amazing brother, father, son and a selfless soul that I had the pleasure of being related to. My brother always referred to himself as a diamond in the rough and told me to "Enjoy life. Look beyond the obvious. See the diamonds in the rough. See the sun on the stormy days..." I'll always cherish his words and try to live by them every day I'm granted life. To anyone who has grieved the loss of a loved one or is grieving now, you're not alone. There's help all around you. Keep the faith, keep the love. Stay blessed. Forever and always my brother. I'm indebted to you. Thank you for your constant support & your words of encouragement. R.I.H. My Diamond in the Rough -AJ-…
