Dear Momma and Daddy,

Please don\'t be sad. I miss you all so much, too. It\'s beautiful here where I am, and I\'m not worried about you. I sleep with angels watching me. There\'s only love up here and I\'m never lonely or afraid, because God\'s so very near. I walk with Jesus every day; he is very kind and sweet. Don\'t worry Mom and Dad; he holds my hand when we cross a golden street. I never cry or hurt, I see Grandma every day. I play and laugh and sing a lot and I hear you both when you pray. Please don\'t be mad at God you see, because he loves me, too. And even though you are not with me I\'m really still with you.

Graveside services will be 11 a.m. Thursday at McMinn Memory Gardens with Pastor Scott Cardin and the Rev. James Parris officiating.

No formal visitation will be held.
