``He is my brother. He is a loving child whose memories I will always love and cherish. Although he is gone, he will always live in my heart. There were things he could not do here on earth, but my sister Chrissy and I truly believe he is doing those things up in heaven. We wish to see you again someday. Now he plays with angels,'' from Anthony Sancilio, 13 years old. We love you, Mikey. ILLUSTRATION: Photo
