Freddie,

My prayers are with you and your family at this time.

Memories Locked Within Your Heart
(In Memory of Adam Anthony 12 Ross )


Do not grieve for long; he would not want you to
He would hope that you carry on the way you always do
Talk about the good times and the ways you showed him you cared
Speak of the days you spent together and all the happiness that was shared
Allow his memory to surround you
May those feelings be crystal clear
Reminding you that at all times; he is always near
For if you keep these moments,
You will never be apart
He will live forever locked safely within your heart
