Brotherly Band of Love
From: His brother, Iggy Pintado
When my brother, Tony passed away in March 2013, I promised myself that I would visit his grave regularly. During an early visit, I took a rubber band from some flowers as a way of remembering him and put it on my wrist until I could find a proper wrist band. Last week, I was given a beautiful wristband so ...I took the rubber band off and dropped it on the table.
Without a word of a lie, it landed like this.
Message received, brother.
