Dear Andrew

Dear Andrew,

Thank you for having a nice sunny day for your funeral. The rays of sun shined down so brightly on your dad & I as we cried tears of joy. You are our angel watching down over us. Fr. Paul spoke so eloquently, he spoke from the heart, which your mommy loves.  He closed his eyes & the words just flow so peacefully out of his mouth.  Your grandma's cried, your aunts choked backs tears, your cousins all sat down on the ground  around your grave being so quiet. Your dad held me tight, he creid, I cried, but for tears of Joy, as you are in heaven. We held you one last time, before Mark so lovingly placed you in the ground. I didn't want to let go of you. . Fr. Paul sprinkled holy water on you. Gave you a final blessing. We said the Our Father as a family.  I put some flowers in the ground with you, they were a little from all the arrangements we were sent over the last week.  Just know your grandpa Ron is close by you to keep you safe. We placed you above his heart, I assure he'll wrap his arms around you, if you haven't seen him already. Your dad & I put the first bits of dirt on you to keep you safe, your great uncle stepped up & everyone else followed & everyone put a bit of dirt to cover you up. It was soo tender. I hope you know how much we miss you. We can't wait to meet you in heaven some day.

Love,
Mommy
