I know you are with everyone always,but I look into that beautiful face and cry always. You know how i feel, this world is so different without you. I know God needs you, but so do all of us. If i could get one more hug,one more kiss,hear from you one more I love you ferm-but that wouldnt be enough for me. I love you and miss you always in everything I do!
