Nephew!! it is so surreal, but my heart tells me you are walking with our Lord and Savior, free of pain, free of any burdens..... This does not make the pain of your loss go away, but knowing you are safe in the hands of God is such a sweet notion. I can't stop playing your life out in my mind, all the way up until your final moments with us. It has been an honor to be your aunt and love you like my own. You had an irreplaceable spirit and a smile so great, you could lift anyone's spirit! I miss you so much, life will never be the same. Until we meet again nephew.... Keep your loving arms wrapped around your parents, sister, Lissey and Jennifer. Love you boy, Mimi
