It especially brought so much joy to his grandpa Mills, as this was his first biological grandchild. We had so many plans for out little cowboy and ready to make a life time of memories with him. In the 36 weeks he was in mommy’s womb his daddy would sing to him or read him a story. We enjoyed every tumble, every kick, every time we heard his heart beating. Our blessed Saviour called him back home into his loving arms where he will be protected forever from harm. We all love you Myles Morris Big Bull - Jackson.

Safe in the arms of Jesus
Safe on His gentle breast
There by His love o’er shadowed
Sweetly our baby’s soul shall rest.
