A Tribute to M y Jdusband
Money, 1 want to thank you for the love an d care you have given me an d our fam ily these p a st Z5 plus years. You sacrificed a ll for us an d would have given me the moon an d the stars i f you thought that would make me happy. You treated me a s i f your life's g o al was to make me happy an d you did. You
spoiled me in every way possible. You did what G od commanded you to do a s my husband. You alw ays gave from your heart an d expected nothing in return. 1 will alw ays cherish the memories we made
together: the trips to the mountains, the vacations a t M yrtle Beach, the baseball games, etc. 1 will most cherish the M arriage retreats, where we learned how to love an d accept each other an d still be one. The things we did together an d the p laces we went together wont be the sam e without you. I'm m issing you already. When 1 think the lives we touched an d the kids we've raised together, 1 am comforted, today, by these same people that are hurting too. W e a ll have to accept the fact that G od makes no mistakes an d only want the best o f everything. YOU. W e know that this is but a comma an d we will be with you again before the story ends. 1 thank G od for the time 1 had with you. for making me your wife an d soul mate. 1
love you. my gray hound, and rest well an d 1 will see you in the morning.
Your Wife, Jacqueline
