To My beloved little bro Ty:

A Love That Knows No End A gentle soul, a heart so kind, A life well-lived, with peace of mind. Through every trial, you found your way, With strength and grace, day by day. You gave your love without a pause A steady hand, a righteous cause. In every hug and every smile, You made this world a bit more worthwhile. With faith so strong, you stood secure, In every storm, your heart was pure. A guiding light, a steady friend, A love that will not ever end. Though now you rest in heaven's care, We feel your presence everywhere. In every breeze, in every star, We carry you with us, near and far. Rest easy now; your work is done, your peace is earned, and your battle is won. But in our hearts, you'll always stay. A beacon of love to light the way.

Your forever-loving sister Gina.
