You have taken a huge part of Momma and Daddy's heart with you. We all love you so much and will never stop loving you. Daddy will miss the way you hugged me with one arm squeezing my neck and the other patting my back. Momma will miss the way you reached for her when you needed her. Your big sister will miss the way you would bang on her door until she came out to play. Big brother William will miss your smile and laugh and big brother Wyatt will miss his play buddy and nap partner. The family will receive friends Saturday, April 27, 2019 from 1pm until the funeral service begins at 2pm in the chapel of Brantley Funeral Home. Interment will follow in Blocker Cemetery.
