Dear Nick,Sam, and all of Nick's family,
I am so sorry for the pain that you are going through since Sonny has passed. I know that it is not an easy road ahead, and know that all the words of comfort will not sustain the depth of your loss. Just know that there are so many of us who care that will keep praying for your healing. I know you don't know what you need at this time, but if you ever need to talk, we are only a phone call away. Peace, prayers, and love for you all.

We said goodbye to our beautiful angel yesterday. Sonny, there were so many people. You would have loved it. Thank you to my cousin Nick(Sonnys brother), my cousin Jon, and Sonnys good friend Abraham for all the wonderful stories of Sonny. In the midst of all the tears, laughs were shared also.
We shared a shot of patron in your honor... And I know you were there with us. :)
We will miss you forever.
Love you cousin<3

Perhaps they are not stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are still happy.

Dear Lord hear is one of the most beautiful gifts you gave to us here on earth. His kind of love is what creates the fullness of a loving heart. You take a piece of us with you now that can never be replaced so take him home and crown him with your love and glory, We will miss him but know he will be there to greet us with his amazing hug's when we return to the kingdom. If love could have saved him he would have lived forever. Wrap your arms around his family and friends and let them know your glory. Amen.
