happy birthday son.  You would have been 49 today.   A,day doesn't go by that I don't think of you and Fran.   My heart aches that you and Fran are not here.   I miss you every day.   Till we meet again.  You are missed but never will be forgotten .   Love mom

To my dear son:

As you probably know you are going to be a grandfather.  Your son Eddie is going to be a father this coming November.  I know you are watching him.  He misses you so much so does Megan.  They are both doing fine. A day doesnt go by that I dont think about you and Fran.  My world stopped the day you and your sister went to be with the Lord.  I know it hurts so much not to be able to see you and Fran, but I know someday when the Lord takes me, we will be together again.  Till then I keep you and Fran in my prayers daily.   You take care and be good up in heaven.  No funny stuff.     Till we meet again.  I will always love you and Fran.

Mom
