I am sure that I am not alone in my feeling of being lost for words right now. You were cherished by your family especially your mom from moment one. We felt so honored when she would let us keep her "bundles." This is the nickname I gave you as a baby because your mom would have you so bundled up that you could not move and we would laugh about that. She took care of you and then you turned around and did the same for her. She was so proud of you and the young man you had become. Although we could never fill this void we will collectively join together to take care of your mom now. We will always love you "Labundles."
