We love you & miss you very much. We wish we would have had you here for longer. You will always be very SPECIAL to us all & it is our loss that we will have to wait a while to see you again. We hope & pray that you’re much happier where you are now & that we all will see you again. We pray that God’s loving arms are holding you tight until we can be there with you. We hope that you’re able to be with Grandma now & you’re both having the reunion of an eternity!!!(& Grandpa too) We know that if you can be, you’re still here with us all too in your own way & just want to let you know that you’re loved very much!
