My dear son, you have given me so much joy, and pride of the man you have become. So many good memories. Most of all you gave me the loves of your heart, Angie, Ashley, Jessica and Jenna. They will forever be near and dear to me. We will all be together again in due time. Until that time comes we will be comforted in the thought of the love you have for us all. Loved you before you were born and will love you eterñally.
