It is with great despair we announce the passing of Lukus Michael
Ledward-Frizzell Due to complications in delivery Feb. 4, 2008. The world
may never notice If a Snowdrop doesn't bloom, Or even pause to wonder If the
petals fall too soon. But every life that ever forms, Or ever comes to be,
Touches the world in some small way For all eternity. The little one we
longed for Was swiftly here and gone. But the love that was then planted Is
a light that still shines on. And though our arms are empty, Our hearts know
what to do. Every beating of our hearts Says that we love you. We will
always love you "Little Frizzward" Love & Kisses Nanna, Grandad, Auntie
Nicky, Uncle Darren, cousins Ryan and Hayley 120099
