His parents will hold him in their loving hearts forever because although his life was very brief, Baby Boy Antfernee left a lifetime of love.

I am here in BABY HEAVEN, God took me by the hand. Wrapped me in HIS love, Gently led me to His land. I will always be your baby, our hearts joined by love. Now a perfect little angel, I'm watching from above. I am a part of you, Though brief the time we shared. Take comfort, be healed , I'm free in loving care. Remember me with joy, Lift a smile to the skies. Say a prayer for me, Let there be no sad good-byes. One day we'll meet again, A lifetime I will wait You'll know the little angel with outstretched arms At Heaven's gate.
