'THEY NEVER HEARD THEIR BABY CRY'
They never heard their baby cry, he never took a breath. He came early to this world and quickly left. He touched our hearts with his will to live, but death came quietly and he was still. They cried, they hugged, they held him tight. They whispered words of love to him - their blessing from above. Through their tears we see, they are an inspiration to you and me. TAYLOR JAMES FOSHAY is his name. Surely from Heaven he came. He is back in Heaven now, looking down on us somehow. Sweet boy of love and hope, please teach us how to cope 'til we see you again when we die. To live in heaven and never cry.
