"Our son, this is for someone wonderful as loved as one could be, 
for you were everything in life, you meant the world you see, 
and sometimes life can be unkind when hearts are torn in two, 
but nothing ever could compare to the pain of losing you. 
But all the love you left behind forever will live on
and so until we meet again, rest peacefully, our dear son. 
Night, night number one son, forever young, love your Mum and Dad.
