Ryan, My dearest son gone to be with his Father and grandparents all too soon. I don't know why or how this happened but I promise you my son I will and when we have closure I will say my final goodbyes to you. Don't be afraid because you have plently of people in Heaven who love you and will be looking out for you until it is my time to take over. I cherished your love and those last memories we had as Mother and Son will live deep within my heart forever. As I place my cross around you tomorrow it will read, "A son's love never dies and a Mother's love lives forever." As I kissed you goodbye I looked into your eyes whose pathways lead directly to your soul and my eternal love poured from my heart into yours to carry you into the hands of the angels who took you to God. He will keep you safe and free of pain. Your Loving Mother Sharon and Your Loving Sister Nicole. I will now sleep until I see you again in the morning..
