You were the son any parent can wish for. Our times together were always joyous, precious and full of laughter and love. I miss and think about you every day. You will always be in my heart, and forever loved.

I was lucky enough... to know you well to love you lots to see your beautiful smile to hear your laughter I was lucky enough... to share fun times together to watch you grow from a baby to a man to admire your conviction for right and wrong to see your creati
