Mimi,
It is just impossible to imagine your loss. We will always remember that precious little boy who would run over to Aunt Lytha’s and Uncle Jack’s in his pajamas – he was filled with such joy and love. He became a kind and loving man that will truly be missed. Our prayers and love are with all of you in this loss.
