Although I can no longer see you or hear your voice, your spirit is felt. I know you are watching over me from up high. We miss you and will forever miss you and all of your endearing qualities that made you, you. Oh and the endless laughs!!!! I really wish I could get a tray of your baby meatball lasagna.
