Mothers hold their Childrens hands for a little while but their hearts forever. I truly never learned that the words " Im Gonna Miss You" until I reached to touch your hand one last time and it was lifeless. In the life we loved you dearly and in death we love you still. In our hearts you held a place that no one will ever fill. We love you and will miss you always momma!
love,
your sons
