(Reuters) – A terminally ill 2-year-old Pennsylvania boy who served as best man at his parents wedding this weekend has died, his mother said.

Logan Stevenson, who had leukemia, died in his mother’s arms on Monday night at the family’s home in western Pennsylvania.

“He is with angels and he’s in no more pain,” Christine Swidorsky Stevenson, the boy’s mother, wrote on her Facebook page. “No more sickness, no more hospitals.”

The boy, who was born on October 22, 2010, was diagnosed shortly after his first birthday with acute myeloid leukemia, a cancer of the blood and bone marrow. His parents, who had been delaying their wedding, decided to get married once they found out their son only had a few weeks to live, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported.

6. I always come back to the words of Lincoln's Bixby Letter...

I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine that would attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memories of the loved and lost.
