Jordy,
It seems so impossible to have such a kind and wonderful nephew taken at such a young age. My pain is selfish but warranted as I miss you greatly. I know you are in a better place with people I wish I could see again. Have fun and keep checking in on us and I look forward to being with you again in the future.
We all love you and miss you.
