I am very sorry for your loss.
May you find in the days and years to come a true blessing of love with each memory you have. Babies are bits of stardust, blown from the hand of God. Sometimes, he just takes them back to Heaven before you are ready.
My thoughts and prayers go out to family and friends. I am so very sorry.

I can't put into words the sorrow I feel for your family. We only spoke a couple of times during your Senior year, but you were such a polite young man. I know you made a lasting impression on my daughter and that says something of your character. Rest in Peace, Jesse!
