11,1992 -Feb. 11, 1993 I was thinking about how different life is for me And about the things that will never be. To watch you grow into that fine young For me that is not part of God's plan. I realize now my life will never be the same Even though I carry on with life's little game. I can't go back to where I was before That part of my life Is now a closed door.

But in spite of the pain I must endure I want you to know that one thing's for sure. I wouldn't trade places with any other on earth And I'm so proud to be the one who gave you birth. I live with tragedy and sorrow that is true, But, also a great love have I shared with you. For you've touched my heart as no other could And in your memory there will come some good. For you've left a purpose for your mom, To let others know of the son that I had.

I want you to know that your story will be told And others will know that I've been touched by gold. Happy 3rd Birthday I love and miss you very much. Mom (Tina Kiestler) Lucille H. Famiglietti Private services will be held for Lucille H. Famiglietti.
