Your smile was sunshine and your heart was pure gold; you fought the biggest fight; we are proud to call you our own. Your life was too short, but we will never forget the grumpy little face you used to get. Your smiles, your giggles and particular ways, are all memories that will never fade. Grayson touched the lives of many in the short time he was here on earth. He was loved by all who knew him and many who never had the chance to meet him. He will be forever missed.
