“Words can't describe how much I miss you and how much I love you.

“You have left us with a hole in our hearts that will never be filled. From seeing you every day to the thought of never seeing you again breaks my heart breaks my heart the most. You will be forever in my heart. I look forward to the day I see you again.”
