I miss you so much! You always greeted me, as if you hadn´t seen me in 5 years. Your funny, happy go lucky attitude and snappy replies were a breath of fresh air. You will always be in the bank of my memory.

Way-Way, No words can or will comfort you during this grievous period, so I will just wrap you in Love.
Your Mother Truly Loved Her Baby.....And always counted you as a Blessing. Cry until you’re done. Grief has no “Time Period!” Your wound will be raw for quite some time but “This Too Shall Pass.”
Keep Your Hand In The Winding Chain and Hold On.

Fervent Prayers Sent Up For You And “G,” Because He Will Really Miss His Nana.
