You only get to come across a few precious souls in your lifetime that possess the genuine gentle beauty that you did my love. Your eyes and smile gave you right away. Perhaps a beauty so rare can only bloom for so long for im sure even the Angels in heaven missed you. You will forever be in my heart. I will keep your precious lil one there as well. My prayers are with your family and loved ones right now. There are just some things that we should never have to lose. You are loved my dear...I hope you know now just how very much.
