You were ahead of me - our firstborn - you led the way and helped us make our way. You were ahead of me in humor - you lightened so many of our together times with laughter and fun (often at your own expense). You were ahead of me in kindness and generosity caring much for the needs of those whom you loved and others. You were ahead of me in humility - without seeking recognition and attention you served with a whole and gracious heart - you were selfless and eager to lift others up.
And now, you have gone ahead into the life that before and beyond us. Now we are eager to arrive there too. I will look excitedly for you and anticipate a happy reunion, with you, and with the parents who birthed you and us. Till then, you live on in our hearts and enrich our lives, even now, with the memories of happier days when you were among us. We will never forget!!!
