Caleb, I miss your cute little adorable face,

But I know for a fact you're in a better place,

I know your up there looking down,

And I know there's a smile instead of a frown,

You were always happy and made me smile,

It kills me to know that I won't see you for quit a while,

But every time I think of you and the memories we had,

It puts a grin on my face and makes me glad,

I want you to know, with you, I had fun,

Never forget that you're my number one,

Always remember I've love you from the start,

And that you will always be with me, close, very close, to my my heart.

Love your foster sis, Lexy
I MISS YOU SO MUCH!

Dear Dawn~
I was so sorry to learn of your son's passing. Having lost a child of my own, I know the void that's left in your heart. May it be a comfort that you know your Guardian Angel, and that he will forever shine down on you. I pray that peace will find it's way into your heart in the days to come.

All our love~
