My son, it gives me peace to know you're resting in God's hands. Visit me in my dreams and save us all a space next to you. I love you forever. Love Mom

"You never said I'm leaving, you never said goodbye. You were gone before we knew it, and only God knew why. A million times we needed you, a million times we cried. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died. In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still. In our hearts you hold a place that no one could ever fill. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you didn't go alone. For part of us went with you, the day God called you home." Author Unknown We love you forever TTWFO.
