Birthday Tribute in loving memory of our Beloved Son, Brother, and Uncle, Nicholas Dunlap, on his Birthday, June 13th.

It's hard to believe our "baby" is seventeen today. What's even harder is it's another birthday you're not here to celebrate with us. You brought us such joy, happiness and pride for thirteen and a half years on earth and continue to do so from above.

We have wonderful memories that come to us

. We see and hear stories of how you touched the hearts of so many and we have the awesome joy of seeing your beautiful smile again through your nephew.As we see your friends grow and mature we wonder what you would look like and be like.We KNOW you'd be just as handsome and cute as the baby we were blessed with seventeen years ago.We KNOW you'd have the same sweet personality, spirit and heart and we KNOW you'd still be touching the hearts and lives of those around you in a positive way.We KNOW the joy and pride we had for thirteen and a half years continues today - it's just accompanied with tears and longing to be with you again.We KNOW our lives changed forever when we had to say, "Good-bye" for now."We KNOW such a big part of our hearts, our spirits and ourselves went with you.We KNOW someday we will be with you again and that's when our tears will finally be gone and our hearts and spirits repaired.We hope
