Although we will never lay eyes on your face again and see your playful expressions; they are forever burned in our memories.

With seventeen years of your antics and love, our hearts will always be richer and fuller because of you.

Our life changed the day our eyes met. Our eyes stayed on you throughout your life and our eyes meet on your last moment of this life. I felt your last breath on my lips as I told you good-bye. 

You will always be remembered, my loving child, we will miss you deeply. 

In memory of Matayo “Burger Boy” Van Dyne
