I'm missing you my sweet nephew. You were taken from us way to soon. I will always remember your concern for family time and keeping us all together around the holidays every year. Watching you grow up from a little boy to the fine young man you turned into was a pleasure. May you be at peace up in the heavens. Love you dearly. Aunt Laura
