Dear Sweetie,
Happy Easter to you. I miss you so much, and you have been in my thoughts often this day. It is my 65th birthday. Wish you had been here to celebrate it with me. I went to Easter sunrise service and then to Sunday School and worship. I went out to eat with some friends from church. It has been a good day, but a lonely day. I do hope this entry gets in the guest book. Several from last year (your death anniversary, Thanksgiving, Josh's wedding, Christmas, and Valentine of 2010) failed to be included even though I had gotten e-messages that they were submitted. This really breaks my heart that the guest book is incomplete.
With my love always,
Kay

Dear Sweetie,
Happy Birthday! I have thought about you constantly today, wishing that you were here with me. I miss you so much, and I am so grateful that God gave us 22 wonderful years together-- giving me wonderful memories that keep you close to my heart. I know that you are free of pain and are having a wonderful time in heaven. I will see you in the "sweet by and by".
With all my love,
Kay

Dear Sweetie,
This is a sad time for the Haigler family with Henry's death on Thursday night. I cherish the memories of being able to stand by his bedside and chat with him while he was still alert. He was so jovial -- just like the many times he would visit us to check on you and cheer you up.
I miss you so much; and I know that one day, I will see you again --- "in the sweet by and by".
With love and precious memories,
Kay

Happy Anniversary to you, my Dear Sweetie. This would have been our 28th anniversary. I miss you so much, and you have been on my mind constantly. Wish you could have been here as our sweet Megan graduated from high school today. Debbie & Dennis came by to get me. We enjoyed a meal together at a restaurant in Stone Crest. Then we went to Sue & Roger's house for dessert. Then we were off to Bojangle's Arena for Megan's graduation at 7:30. You would be so proud of her. She's going to NC State in August. I love and miss you so much.
With love and precious memories.

Happy Easter, my Dear. I miss you so much.
Memories of our attending sunrise services together filled my heart as I attended a beautiful sunrise service at church this morning. You remain so dear to me. I'll see you in the "sweet by and by".

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you, my dearest husband. I miss you so much, and I think of you daily. With today being your birthday, I think of the memories of the times we celebrated your birthday, especially during your confinement. I always tried to make it so special for you. Seeing the joy on your face made me know that you had moments of happiness and contentment inspite of your limitations to do things that you always enjoyed doing. Then another special birthday memory is that sweet Megan was born 18 years ago on your birthday. This was such an exciting time, and we had many wonderful times watching her grow up. You would be so proud of her now. She is a beautiful, sweet young lady. I will try to get through this day with special thoughts of you. You are always close to my heart. I will see you again in the "sweet by and by."
With love and precious memories.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, to you my Dear Sweetie. You are spending your fifth Christmas in heaven with your precious Lord and Savior. I continue to miss you so much; but I live with the assurance that one day we will be reunited when God calls me home. I am lonely and my tears flow. I will try to have a good day as I travel to be with Betty and Eugene on this Christmas Day.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
With my love always.

Dear Sweetie,
This has been a sad day for me as I have so many memories of your death five years ago. I know that you are free of pain and are at peace in heaven with our precious Lord. For this, I am most thankful. I miss you daily. With each passing day, I know that I am one day closer to meeting my Saviour face-to-face and will also be reunited with you. My journey is lonely, but I find solace in precious memories of our twenty-two wonderful years together.
With my love always,

Dearest Sweetie,
Happy Easter to you! I miss you so much, and I think of you often--wishing that you were still here with me. I went to sunrise service and church today. Then I had lunch and spent the afternoon with my dear friend, Hilda, and her family. Then another dear friend, Peggy, and I went to a musical at Indian Trail Baptist since we had no service at Idlewild tonight. So I am tired and ready to get some rest with sweet thoughts of you. With precious memories and my love always.

Dear Sweetie,
Happy Valentine's Day to you. This entry is a day late because I didn't even turn my computer on last night. However I placed roses on your grave yesterday (Valentine's Day), and I wished so much you were here with me. I miss you so much, and my love for you continues to be so strong. You brought so much hapiness to my life. Thank you so much.
With my love always.

Dear Sweetie,
I am back to chat with you again after spending Christmas Day with Betty, Robert and Windy, Eugene and Kenny. Wish so much you could have been with us. As I drove home, my thoughts were of you. I realized that this morning I had written of your spending your fourth Christmas in heaven. Then it hit me that this is your fifth Christmas in heaven. Time passes so quickly. I miss you, and I know that you are still close to me in a special way. With all my love.

Merry Christmas to you. This is your fourth Christmas in heaven, and I can only imagine how glorious it must be. I miss you so much. You were the "jewel" of my life who brought me so much happiness. I am so lonely, but I am trying to make the best of the situation and know the true meaning of the season. One day I will be with you in glory. You will always have a very special place in my heart. I love you so much.

Dear Sweetie,
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! You are still my SPECIAL Valentine. This is your fourth Valentine in heaven, and I continue to miss you so much. I have added a precious Memory Bear to the bear collection that I started for you. So that each Valentine's Day, it'll be a reminder to me that we're not really apart. It wears a locket with your picture as a reminder that wonderful memories last forever. It is a reminder to me that you still share good times and laughter, and most of all LOVE with me ----but just from above. Thank you for all the joy that you brought to my life.
With my sincere love always. Kay

Happy 25th anniversary! I continue to miss you so much, and I think of you constantly. You will always be in my heart.
You would be so proud of Michael as he graduated from Providence High yesterday and is headed for West Point. I had a wonderful day with the family, but missed you so much. It wasn't complete without you.
Thanks again for the wonderful years with you. I do look forward to seeing you in Heaven when God calls me home.
With all my love.

My Dear Sweetie,
You have spent your 3rd Christmas in heaven, and I know that it must have been a glorious one. I still miss you so much, and my tears still flow freely. I spent yesterday afternoon with the boys and their families. I appreciate their inviting me, but my heart ached because you were not there with me physically. Happy memories and the thoughts of joining you one day in heaven keep me going. I still love you with all my heart.
With devoted love always,

Dear Sweetie,
Two years ago God in His infinite wisdom and mercy called you to Heaven where you could find rest, peace, joy, and freedom from pain. I miss you so much. I walk a lonely path, but precious memories travel with me. You are always in my thoughts. As I thought of you constantly throughout today, I was raking leaves at the hour of your death two years ago. The memories of the good times we had together doing outside work warmed my heart, and it was as if you were present with me. Heaven must be beautiful, and I am so grateful that you are not suffering anymore. Thanks again for the wonderful memories that help me along the way until we meet again in the sweet by and by. With all my love. Kay

Dear Sweetie,
Just wanted to say "Happy 24th Anniversary" to you. It's 2 o'clock as I write this. My mind is filled with the happy, wonderful memories of our wedding day. I miss you so much. My heart aches for you to be with me; but I know that you are in Heaven with Jesus where you are no longer in pain, and you're able to walk and talk again. For this, I am most grateful. Then one day when death gives way to victory in my life, I will join you in heaven. Until then, precious memories will keep you close to me. I love you and am so grateful for the wonderful 22 years that we had together. With all my LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!

Dear Sweetie,
Happy belated Valentine's Day. I went on line last night to make my entry and encountered technical difficulty. You were in my thoughts throughout the day as I thought of our love and devotion to each other. Of course, these are my thoughts so often. I miss you so much. I know that you are so happy because you are in heaven where there is no pain or sorrow. I try to keep my eyes focused on God so that I can find peace, joy, and comfort to cope with these lonely days. You are so sweet, so precious, and so wonderful. With all my LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!

Inspite of my tears and sorrow, I know that I must strive to be strong. I know that one day in the sweet by and by, I'll be able to share in the glories that you now see as you abide in Heaven with our precious Lord and Saviour. Merry Christmas, my dear.

Dearest Darling,
It's Thanksgiving Eve, and my thoughts have been on you constantly throughout the day as you passed away on the eve of Thanksgiving last year. I have missed you so much, and my heart aches from loneliness. I have played and replayed the tape of Christian instrumental music that premeated the room of the day of your death. Debora, my dear Hospice bereavement counselor, was with me around 3:00 today. As we talked, a dove lit momentarily on the birdfeeder. We looked to see where it had flown, and sitting on the lattice fence was another dove. I can't help but think that is symbolic of the peace that you have in heaven. Then I think the dove's appearance was the Lord's way of reassuring me to be at peace. I know with assurance that I will see you in the sweet by and by. With my love! Kay

Dear Sweetie,
Happy 23rd Anniversary. Oh, how I wish you were here so that we could celebrate what would be a happy occasion for us. I have so many fond memories of the happy anniversaries that we enjoyed together. You remain in my heart always. Thank you for the wonderful years of happiness that you gave me as my dear, beloved husband.
I have cried many tears from loneliness and your not being with me. Yet, I know that you are in perfect peace and are not suffering anymore. For this, I am most grateful.
God is my refuge and my strength, so I know that He will wipe away my tears and give me faith in the drark hours of grief. My life feels so empty without you, my dear. I just pray that God will fill my emptiness with his healing love.
With my love always,
Kay

Happy Easter, my Dear! I continue to miss you so very much. I think about you as I go about my daily tasks, wishing that you were still with me and in good health. Then I have to stop and remind myself that God is always in control and that He knows best. I know that you are no longer suffering, and this gives me peace. I can only imagine what your first Easter in heaven must be like as you are with our risen Lord and Savior. I love you so much; and one day, I'll see you in heaven. With my love always.

Happy Birthday, my Dear. Four months ago as God looked down upon this earth, He saw your tired face. Knowing that you were in pain and that you were suffering, He closed your weary eyelids and whispered, "Peace be thine." Then He put His arms around you and lifted you to rest. I miss you so much, and I have thought of you constantly throughout the day. You will forever be in my heart and life as I hold on to precious memories. With my love always!!

Honey, I love you and I miss you so much. I wish you were here to see and hold your beautiful great-great niece --- Kayla Hudson. She was born on March 12, and she is adorable! I can visualize you cradling her in your left arm, saying "Pretty! Pretty! Pretty!" Deborah and Kevin are so proud and happy. I know that they will be wonderful parents. As Kayla gets older, I am sure that they will share many precious memories about you with her. I will give her some extra "hugs" and "kisses" for you!!

Happy Valentine's Day, my dearest Sweetie. This is your first Valentine's Day in heaven. I can only imagine what LOVE and JOY must abound there. I have thought of you so many times with each passing day since your death. You gave me so much LOVE and JOY. Special memories of the years that we shared together fill my thoughts. My life was filled with meaning and happiness because you were mine. I miss you so much, and my hearts aches for you. My days are lonely now, and I wish you were here with me; but I have to find comfort in knowing that you are at peace and not suffering anymore. You still have and will always have a special place in my heart. "I am my beloved's and my beloved in mine..." Song of Solomon 6:3
