My love, I don't know what I am going to do without you. Words can not explain how I feel right now. What am I going to do without my bestfriend, the father of my children, my confidante, my biggest supporter, my protector, but most of all the love of my life for 34 years. How do I get through this without you. I know that you have been preparing me for such a time as this, but it hurts so much. I questioned myself every day but I know that God needed a compassionate, loving, thoughtful and giving individual in His kingdom. He needed you more than I did. Take your rest my King and I will forever be your Queen. Your loving wife.
