Baby Wicked: That's the name I met you by, thats the name I will always remember you by. I cant believe that I wont be hearing your voice over the phone anymore, I wish I could have spent more time with you, thanks for being there when I really needed you, I still have all your letters and I will keep them forever. I wish time could rewind and I could have you here so I could show you how much I appreciated having you around, but it is true what they say, "you dont know what someone means to you until theyre gone" and Im sorry I never got the chance to show you. I will remember you forever, and cherish those few times we kicked it. May our Almighty Father watch you & keep you, until the day we cross paths again, your always in my thoughts.

Mad Love,

Amo..

TE AMO CON TODO MI CORAZON!!

Dear Johnny,



As a child you filled my heart with joy and laughter. Thinking of you puts a smile on my face. You will always be my muffin baby.

Johnny,

I wish I got to see you more as you were growing up..I do have lots of great memories of you when you were little. You always made us smile! None of us will ever forget your Muffin Baby shoes! You were a little sweetheart, and that's how you will be remembered.

My deepest sympathy goes out to your family. I am so sorry I wasn't able to be there to say good-bye, but please know that you were in my thoughts and heart.

Love Natalie
