I also know the pain of loosing such a precious, special child, my only child Sean, became an angel in my arms, a week after his 3rd heart surgery on July 8th, 2005, he is forever 8 months young. Sean to was born with multiple complexe congenital heart defects. Hope and Sean are now united in a heavenly playground where all they know is happiness, joy, peace, serenity and LOVE. No more poking and proding, they can enjoy life to the fullest with healthy hearts. Hope your parents miss you terribly, please embrace them with your beautiful, soft angel wings, sending them comfort and love. (((Hugs))) to the whole family.
Hope and Sean heavenly friends,
