Jayden-I will miss you very much and I hope that you know how much your Auntie Becca loves you!! You were, still are, and will always be an amazing young boy!! You will never be forgotten and you will forever live on in my heart! So blessed to have had the 5 years that I had with you and so is everyone else that knew you. I don't want to say Rest In Peace because i don't think you are resting-you are being spoiled by all your Grandmas and Grandpas right now. Love you Buddy!
