    Franco, I loved you so so much. I’ll miss your tender loving spirit. I’ll miss your laughter and sense of humor. There’s so many things we were looking forward to doing as family. You will be in my heart forever and in my thoughts. I wish I could hug you again, your tight heart felt hugs were the best. I’ll miss you jumping on top of me and the couch, lol. Waking with you checking on me. Id have loved to seen your face with you seen Jesus. I’ll miss planning dinners for you and us talking at the table. I waited for you to come home to me, but you’ve went on Home to Heaven and the loving arms of Jesus. So untill I see you again, I’ll cheerish all the memories of you. Love forever Mom
