Short Notes

Yesterday my heart was broken. I lost the most important man in my entire life, my brother Warren Anderson Jr. He was my best friend, my guide through life, and an absolutely amazing uncle and father. He was my kids' hero. He died peacefully in his sleep in the amazing care of our Lord. I will always love you. Your Brother, Brian

Dad, I’m still at a loss for words. I love you, miss you, and don’t know where I’m going without you. I’m still shocked that you won't be here with me in the physical state. Labeled as my father, but a best friend is what you truly were. Not hearing your voice again will always sadden me but reminiscing and hearing your laugh will forever make me smile. I will miss our conversations, my random pop-ups, and your ways of teaching me through my stubbornness. Through it all, I’m grateful you got to see me grow into a man. You’ve blessed me with tons of wisdom and guidance. You taught me how to take care of our own responsibilities and stand on my own. I will continue to be a better man, son, brother, uncle, cousin, and friend. Continue to watch me and my loved ones, because I know you are always with me in spirit. I love you, dad. Your son, Lil Warren
