Roni, my little Macaroni, I will forever love and miss you my dear nephew. You were one of the coolest kids I knew. Your smile was contagious and would light up any room. I always said you were a ladies man and would be a model when you got older. Now you can melt the other angels hearts and model for them. Take care of your mommy and your brother. Until we meet again watch over me and your big cousins. We love and miss you dearly.
