I miss you more and more as time goes by.

I miss you today as much as the day you left us to begin your new life, and will miss you forever. What a beautiful Christmas Day you had this year when Morris left us to join you, as you waited for him for almost six years. We will miss him also as he was our brother. May you both shine in the beautiful light of God forever and pray for us left behind. Your sister, Madeline Denson
