Theo, you were loved and cherished the time that you were here. I mean I couldn't ask for a better nephew and if I did I would be the meanest aunt in the universe

Theo,
I will miss your sweet little smile for the rest of my life. I will always love you and I will always think of you. I can't explain why this had to happen, and I never will but I do know that you blessed us all in more ways than you know. We love you so much baby boy. You impacted my life in more ways than one.
TJ & Hailey,
I cannot express enough how much I wish this didn't have to happen to you, or to our family. I can promise you that I will do everything in my power to make you comfortable. I love you both more than I can explain. I know this is a tragedy, but I marvel in the strength I have seen come from you both. I will always be here for you.

Theo I know that you didn't get to know me much but you meant the world to me. You would always suck on my finger all the time and your binky and my finger were always there. I love you so much and I wish I could do something to get you back and believe me if there was anything I could do to get you back I would even trade my life. I love you and you will always be in my heart.i will never forget you.
