Dearest Rubies
Two years feels like just yesterday we lost your beautiful smile and your heartfelt laughter.. but we still have your amazing soul and energy around us. We still talk to you everyday, cause we know you are listening. We tell you everyday how much we love you, and miss you.
We know the beautiful glow that walks beside us is you.
But i would give anything for father time to turn back his hands, for us to hug u, tell u just what it means to have u in our lives, with your stunning personality, your out going attitude and your love for adventure, and your laughter, and just to hug you one more time, keep flying with your stunning angel wings around us.
Love you everyday and forever my rubies
Big cuddles
Shelby, bailey, aaron and speedy

Love you
