We had our gift from God at home with us for almost 30 years. He went to be with God the month of his birth nearly 8 years ago. Still miss him dearly, but know he is in a far better place. <br />His sister who was born when he was 12, now teaches at a private school for individuals with down syndrome & other disabilities. She also does a social club for the over 18 bunch. She loves what she is doing.<br />Brendanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7205306419445935338.post-7037199965729955442013-03-17T20:56:10.573-07:002013-03-17T20:56:10.573-07:00Wow!

Parents like yours and siblings like you are my heroes. Without you, we would be fighting a much harder battle for her every day. You all paved the way for those of us coming behind. There is no greater legacy that your brother could have left.
