 I Will Forever Miss You You Always put a smile on my face no matter how mad I was all I had to do was call out your name and you would come and wouldn't stop till you made me smile. The moment that I had to identify that it was you and you were taken from us my heart broke. I Dropped down to my knees and cried and cried. All I wanted was for one more day with you As I sit here looking at your pictures day after day. All I want to do is hug you and laugh with you and have you home with us. I miss you so much we all do. and when you died. The whole town felt the pain. You were only 16 years old. You didn’t deserve to die. You wanted to get married and go to college Have babies and have a family. You've been gone for a year now and I miss you like hell I think about you everyday It’s not getting easier. Every time I look at your pictures or pull out the scrapbook or go into your room, hear a song that reminds me of you the tears don't stop. I think of you every second of the day. I will never forget you DEEDEE DESIREE NICOLE RIVERA I love you and miss you, but I know that your in heaven looking over all of us.. I can’t wait until I get to see you again LOVE YOU, MOM
