My Cuz Luigi & Jolene & Ava

There's nothing I could or anybody could say to ever stop the hurt you are going through. You both will miss your SON forever that's the hard truth but he will stay in your hearts until the end of time & only time will help heal your hearts because this is where your SON will live forever and ever until the day you join him in our Kingdom of Heaven.
