Dear Son, God blessed me with an angel on March 4, 2000. From the very beginning your light shinned so bright. Your eyes were always pure, you could see straight to your soul. Your spirit so strong and heart so big. You always had more than enough heart to share. You were extremely thoughtful even from a very young child. You always knew how to comfort and console me. Whenever I needed someone to talk you were there, to walk with you were there. If I was lonely you would spend time with me. We have had so many great moments together… birthdays, holidays, your birth, first words and steps, potty training you, reading you bedtime stories, walking you to school, watching you play football, seeing you off to elementary,

middle and high school. Sending you off to college was one of the hardest things I had to do but I know it was in your best interest and I had to let you go and allow you to grow up. It was a task in trying to get you into college but once all the paperwork was completed there was no stopping you. Baby boy you began to show me how you were growing and maturing. The following year you

enrolled yourself into school all alone without my help. We didn't have to go up to the school 25—30 times (literally). The things you did that drove me crazy like eating my chicken, changing your phone service, being stubborn, dirtying up the from time to time and playing loud music. Just know I miss you more than words could ever express and I would give anything to have you back here with me again. I thank God for giving me you. Your face, your name, your spirit will never be forgotten and my love is eternal for you. Love, Mom
