Your voice and face will always be stuck in my mind. Heaven sure gained a wonderful angel that's for sure. You will never ever be forgotten as you were truly loved by many. Your sister sure talked highly about you the other day. Everyone is gonna miss you! Wish I could have had the chance to see you again. I will always remember our childhood together. The days on the bus, and the days of drinking homemade hot chocolate that your granny made...it was the best!
