Not sure what to say?





Today is Christmas. I know you are happy with the Lord. It sure was lonely here without you. Time doesn't heal the feeling of emptiness or this hole in my heart since the Lord took you home. I love you with all of my heart and soul. The time will come when we will be together with the Lord. What a happy reunion that will be.

your eternal loving wife.

I was thinking about what a wonderful though short love story that we had together. Also how it will last for eternity. I was thinking about how some objected to us being together and how it just made our love for each other stronger. I am so thankful that God brought us together and I am so thankful to know that our love for each other will never die. I am so looking forward to being with you for all eternity. I love you with all of my heart and soul. Just knowing that you loved me just as much helps me make it though life.

Good afternoon my darling husband. It has been a while since I sent you a message. I love you and miss you with all of my heart and soul. I am so glad that God brought us together. He really knew how much we needed each other. I think of you all of the time. Seems like everything I see and every thing I do makes me think of you and something we did or some place we went or something that you said to me. I am so thankful for the time we had together here on the earth. It was the happiest I have ever been. I will be so glad when the day comes that we are together again.

Good evening to my precious angel husband. I love you with all of my heart and soul. I miss you with all of my heart and soul. I need you with all of my heart and soul and I long to be with you with all of my heart and soul. I love keeping the book so much better than writing in this forum. It is so much more private, I can say what I want to say and everything is just between you and me . No one knows what I am doing and what I am telling you. It is so much nicer this way. I will send you a note once in a while in legacy but I will send you a message in the book every day. God bless us both and always keep us in His loving care and give us grace to last until we are in each other's arms in Heaven. I love you so very much.

I just want you to know that I love you with all of my heart and soul, I miss you with all of my heart and soul, I need you with all of my heart and soul and I long to be with you with all of my heart and soul. The time will shortly come when we will be together for all of eternity and our wonderful marriage will go on and on. My heart rejoices when I think of that day coming and I know that you are as anxious as I am. Living without you is so very hard and I just have to keep trusting in the Lord to help me through
each day as they come and go. He knows our hearts and our love for each other. My life will never be the same without you and all happiness left the day the Angels took you home. I know that God loves us and will keep us in His care until the day comes when we can be together forever. I Love you Honey.

My dear beloved angel Husband,
This is a very very hard day for me. One year ago at 6:12 in the morning of February 12, 2013. The angels came and took you home to be with the Lord. When they took you they also took my heart. I have never felt such emptiness and hurt in all of my life. It was so hard to let you go and I wanted to go with you more than anything in the world. There has never been a more perfect love and marriage as the one you and I had together. I thank God for you every single day. I love you with every ounce of my being. I miss you so much that sometimes I feel as though I am going to fall apart. I need to feel your comfort and love so much. You were always showing me so much love and affection. You love being close to me and doing things with me. I loved it just as much as you did. I am longing so much for the day to come when I can come home to you and we can know that joy and love forever never having to be apart again. This is going to be a very hard day for me all day. I know I will relive it all over and over again. I can still see you laying there crying because you didn't want to leave me. I didn't want you to go either. Dick, I love you so very much. I loved you very soon after we met. you made me so very happy and I loved every minute that we were together. You always told me that we were soul mates and that God saved the best for last. That is so very true. My life without you is a complete void and empty. I talk to you and pray with you and kiss your pictures and sing to you every day. All of the wonderful memories are what keeps me going. We will be together for eternity and I am so looking forward to that day. I love you with an undying love.

your eternal wife and companion

My dearest darling husband.
I love you with all of my heart and soul. I miss you with all of my heart and soul. I need you with all of my heart and soul and I long to be with you with all of my heart and soul. My heart is very heavy today. It is the anniversary of the day that you lost consciousness and was never able to speak to me again. I love you so much and as I sat by your bedside holding your hand and holding you in my arms from time to time my heart was breaking in two. I knew that the angels were coming soon to take you home to the Lord. I couldn't bear the thought of having to live without you and I wanted to hang on to every moment of time that I could. Just the day before you had told me that you love me and you cried so hard because you didn't want to leave me. You fought so hard to live and you made me promise to be with you throughout eternity. You tried so hard for six months to get better. You worked so hard to walk again. You wanted so much to stay with me. My life has been so sad and empty and it will never be the same again until we are together again in heaven with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We will be happy again and we will know that joy and love again that we shared together here on the earth. You and me and God know our hearts and our wishes and desires. He promised us and we promised each other that we would be together again and I know that those promises are real and will be true. I hope the day comes soon when we will be together again and know the love and joy that will be ours for eternity.

My dearest darling husband,
I love you with all of my heart and soul. I fell in love with you very soon after we met. I miss you with all of my heart and soul. Every day gets harder to live without you. I need you with all of my heart and soul to comfort and hold me and hear you say "you are the love of my life" I long to be with you with all of my heart and soul because we were meant to be together. Thank you honey for all of your love and devotion that made me feel this way. God was so good to us and I thank him every day for you and your love. We will be together again soon and all of these heartaches will end. For eternity there will be nothing but pure love and joy with each other and being with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who loved us so much that He made all of this possible. I thank Him for that every day.
We are having some up and down weather now. We have a few warm days and then it drops down into the 40s again and then back up into the 60s and 70s again. But it is starting to feel and look a lot like spring. I will be happy when it gets here to stay.
I love you honey and I know that God will bless us and keep us in His loving care and give us grace until the day comes when He allows me to come home to you and Him and be there for eternity.

Happy Sabbath day honey. I just got home from church. It was real good today. Made me think of how much I love you, with all of my heart and soul. I miss you with all of my heart and soul. I need you with all of my heart and soul and I long to be with you with all of my heart and soul. My precious husband , the love of my life and my soul mate. You are so very special to me. I am so thankful to God for the time I had with you because it was the happiest time of my life. The love that you gave to me and still give to me is worth more to me than anything in the whole wide world. The only happiness I find now is in the wonderful memories that you left for me to think about. And I think of you every minute of every day. I thank God for you every day and I thank you for loving me and for being your soul mate and the love of your life. I can still hear you tell me that. What precious times those were. If only they hadn't ended so soon. Just think honey, when we get to heaven together there will be no letters to upset you and all of the bananas will be ripe ones. But we won't be thinking about those things any more because we will be so happy and so in love.
God will always love us and keep us safe in His loving care until we are together in heaven for all eternity. I love you my darling.

I thank God that it won't be long until we are together again never to be separated again. You are my world and my life and living without you is so very hard to have to deal with but I know that I have to go on. I can promise you faithfully that I will live my life in a righteous way so that we can be together forever. You told me so many times that you wanted to be with me throughout eternity and we will be. God promised us that and long as we keep His covenants He will keep His promise to us. I am so thankful to Him every day. and I am so thankful to you for all of the love you gave to me and still give to me.
We are having a nice day here today. It is a little cool. It is in the high 50s but the sun is shining brightly and it is so pretty.

TO MY DEAR SWEET ANGEL HUSBAND,
I love you with all of my heart and soul and I think about you all of the time. I miss you with all of my heart and soul. The days without you are so long and the nights are even longer. I need you with all of my heart and soul. The pain in my heart just won't go away. I long to be with you with all of my heart and soul. We were meant to be together. I thank God for you . He brought us together for a while to love and to cherish and to know true happiness and we did. I thank you for being so very special and for the way you treated me. you were so very good to me. you were constantly doing something nice and letting me know that I am the love of your life and your soul mate. A day never went by without you making sure that I knew that. You made my life complete. You were the perfect husband. I am so thankful for the time we had together and knowing that we will be together again for eternity. You are the love of my life for sure and my soul mate. It is getting close to the time when you will be gone from me for one year. I have to tell you that it has been the longest year of my entire life. I am so ready to come and be with you forever. When this life is over for me we will be together again and we will not ever think about all of the problems of this life but only the love that we shared here and will share in heaven forever. I have relived the last ten days of your life over and over. I wanted to help you so badly. I tried to do everything I could to make you comfortable. I keep remembering how hard you cried because you didn't want to leave me. You fought so hard to stay here with me. Lance was talking about that the other day. He talked about you just couldn't bear to leave me. He talked about that at your memorial service too. He has never forgotten it. Any one that was here to see you talks about how you didn't want to leave me. I wish I could have gone with you at that very moment. You used to tell me that you wished there would be a way that we could go at the same time. I wished that too and I still do. I miss you so much that it is almost unbearable. I hate to go anywhere because I feel like I am leaving you here alone. I am always really anxious to get back home. I can feel your sweet spirit here and I know you want me to be here with you. The most we were ever apart was five days until the day I came to buy our home and make the arrangements to have it ready to bring you home. I loved every minute that I ever spent with you and I am so looking forward to the day we are together again because I know we will never be apart again. I love you my darling.

Dearest Honey
I love you so much. I love you much more than I can ever find enough words to say. I miss you so much. I miss you so much that Every day gets harder to live without you. I need you so much. I need you so much just to be around me and feel the love that you have for me. I long to be with you so much. I long to be with you so much that I am so ready to leave this earthly domain and be with you in heaven for eternity. You will forever be my soul mate and the love of my life and I will forever be your soul mate and the love of your life. I cherish the wonderful life and marriage that we had. It was the happiest time of my life. I had never known real joy until I met you and we were together in our wonderful marriage blessed by a God that loves us so much that He brought us together just so we could know the joy that we had and will have again when I come home to you. I thank Him for you everyday. I thank you every day for loving me so much.
We had a most beautiful day yesterday. It was so sunny and warm. It was 72 degrees yesterday. The air is changing and it is beginning to feel a lot like spring. We are having some cooler days though not real cold. I am so anxious to get out in the yard and start working. And I am getting anxious to be sitting out on the porch some too.
I love you honey and I know that God loves us too and will give us the grace we need and keep us in His loving care until we are together again.

My dearest darling.
I hope I don't make as many mistakes as I did in the last note that I sent you. I didn't have my mouse with me at Tami's and I was struggling with my finger to send your note. Guess that won't make up for the bad spelling though.
I love you with all of my heart and soul. I miss you with all of my heart and soul. I need you with all of my heart and soul and I long to be with you with all of my heart and soul.
I enjoyed being with Tami and the kids for the weekend. they are always so good to me. Tami has always loved me and treated me like her real mother. I feel like I am and I love her just like I am. We have always had a good relationship from day one. She sure loved you a lot too.
Sunshine was so happy to see me when I got home today. She was just really loving me. She is so very sweet. Thank you for her. I would not have her if you hadn't told Dale to get her for me. I wish you could have seen her before you passed on.
You are so very special to me. I miss you so very much. I thank God for you every day and I ask Him to hasten the day until we can be together again. I love you my darling.

my dearest darling angel husband. one year ago today, I got up early in the morning to check on you and you had gotten really sick during the night while you slept. I called 911 and the rushed you to the hospital. that is the day that they told us you were not going to make it. I didn't think I could make it either when the doctor told us that. They kept you there until they could get you stabilized enough and get hospice assigned to us and I brought you home, I wanted us to be together until the end and we were. Hospice came home with us and Phil came every morning to help me lift you and bath you. I asked you if you wanted me to call anyone and you told me know. three nights before you went you said you wanted to talk to me and you told me everything that you wanted done. that was the last day you were able to carry on a conversation. the next morning I fed you breakfast and that was the last thing you were able to ea. later that day you said your last words. You said "I LOVE YOU" those were the sweetest words I have ever heard. I love you with all of my heart and soul. I miss you with all of my heart and soul. I need you with all of my heart and soul and I long to be with you with all of my heart and soul. I sat beside your bed and rubbed your head and held your hand. On February 12th you slipped peacefully into the arms of Jesus. My heart absolutely broke at that moment and half of me went with you. Life has not been the same since that moment and it will not be right until the Lord comes and takes me away to be with you forever. That day will come soon my darling. until then I am

Good morning to the love of my life on a rainy dreary day These kind of days make me miss you so very badly. But at least it is warm. It is gonna be near 70 degrees here today. I am getting ready to go to Tami's. I don't like driving in the rain but it isn't raining very hard and is supposed to stop.
I love you with all of my heart and so. I miss you with all of my heart and soul. I need you with all of my heart and soul. I long to be with you with all of my heart and soul. I find that I am getting weaker now as I get older and so many times I need you to do something that I do not have the strength to do. I have always been able to take care of myself but I am finding it hard to do so many things that used to be so easy for me to do. I guess that is to be expected. you always kept me young and I felt young. But not any more. Since you have been gone I have aged a lot. I don't feel like nor do I want to do any thing and so many things that I have to do I find I don't have the strength to do any more. This life is so short but without you I don't care how short it is. It just means I will be with you again soon. That makes me happy. I just spend my time serving the Lord and trusting in Him until we are
together again. I love you so much and I love the Lord so much. He is so good to us to bring us together and let us have all of the happiness and joy that we had. He promised we will have that same joy again and that it is will for all of eternity. That fills my heart and my life with joy just knowing this wonderful promise that He gave to us.
He will always bless us and keep us in His loving care until that day comes. I thank Him every day for you and I thank you for loving me so much.

Your eternal loving wife

Dearest Darling Husband "Dick". Today is February first. It will soon be one year since the Lord took you home. I have missed you every minute since you have been gone with all of my heart and soul. I loved you when you were here and I love you now with all of my heart and soul. So many times I have needed you with all of my heart and soul. Every minute since you went home I have longed to be with you with all of my heart and soul. Living without you has been the hardest task I have ever had to face. Some days it seems like I will not make it through the day. I talk to you every day and I kiss your picture and I pray with you just like we did when you were here. You let me know real often that you are here with me. Thank you so much for that. One thing about being the age that I am is that it can't be too much longer until I am allowed to come home to you. You are so very precious to me. You are the love of my life. I know that you are really looking forward to the day when I can come and be with you just like I am. There is no pleasure at all in life. I am so glad for the love we had. for the way we treated each other so that we both were able to say that when one of us had to go neither one of us would have to feel any guilt because we never showed anything but love for each other. I am so glad that I got to be the love of your life and your soul mate. I am so thankful that I got to be the one who took care of you. I loved taking care of you. It was a joy and a pleasure to do the things for you that made you happy and comfortable. God Bless you and me with undying love and grace sufficient until we are together again forever. I love you my darling.

Your forever soul mate and wife

To my dear sweet husband , the love of my life.
I love you with all of my heart and soul just the way you love me. I miss you with all of my heart and soul just the way you miss me. I need you with all of my heart and soul, just the way you need me. I long to be with you with all of my heart and soul, just the way you long to be with me. We will be together again when it is my day to come home to you and The Lord. I hope that day comes soon and I know you hope that it comes soon also.
We have been having winter weather here. They called for 2 to 4 inches of snow but we didn't get any. We did get some freezing rain but it didn't last very long. Dale came over and got the ice off of our steps and porch. I stayed in for fear I would fall. It has been getting cold at night though. It has been going down into the upper 20s. In the day it warms up to about 40 degrees. Today it was 41 degrees. Stating tomorrow it is supposed to be near 70 again and only down to the high 50s at night. That will be much better.
My home teacher's came tonight and they were talking about you. They said when we came to church on Sunday we were the best looking couple there. It reminded me of the day we were in WalMart and that lady came up to us and said " I just had to come up and tell you two that you are a very handsome couple and you look so happy."
We didn't know what to say and you just said thank you to her. We both had a good laugh when we left the store. We had that happen to us several times. Our happiness must have really been obvious.
I am going to Tami's tomorrow. WE are going to Columbia to see a basketball game. I am sure I will enjoy that. You know how I love going to watch the girls play basketball. Then we are all going out to eat after the game.
I love you my darling and I miss you. I know that God will be with us and give us grace and hold us in His tender loving care until we are together again. I thank Him for you every day and I thank you everyday for loving me so very much the way you do.

Good morning my darling husband. I love you with all of my heart and soul. I miss you with all of my heart and soul. I need you with all of my heart and soul and I long to be with you with all of my heart and soul. I cannot say these things too many times and I mean every word every time I say them. You are my world. you are my life. you are the love of my life and we are soul mates just like you always said we were. life without you is so lonely. You brought so much joy and sunshine to me. Thank you for all of your love and devotion and for always making me know how very much you loved me and still love me. I thank God for you every day and I know that He meant for us to be together. He brought us together just like you always said He did. You always talked about how different I made you feel. You never got the least bit mean with me. All I ever got from you was real honest love. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for that. We both really enjoyed life when you were here and we will enjoy it even more when we are together again in heaven with our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. I think about the things you told me about your dad and I know He is going to be so happy when we are together. You always said your dad would have loved me. From the things you said I think I would have loved him too. I always told you that. We have so much to look forward too and I am so anxious for that day to come.

A special message just for my special angel husband. I love you honey with all of my heart and soul. I miss you with all of my heart and soul. I need you with all of my heart and soul and I long to be with you with all of my heart and soul. You are the love of my life, my soul mate and my only sunshine. Every day that goes by brings me one day closer to coming home to you. I am really looking forward to that day with great joy in my heart knowing that you will be waiting for me with open arms. That reunion is going to make the angels sing. No one will ever know all of the joy and happiness that we enjoyed while you were here on earth. God was so good to us and He allowed us to have a very special relationship. We both found real and true happiness together. We never failed to let each other know how we felt. It was such a precious time for both of us. Even after you were sick we still enjoyed the love that we had for each other. We were just right for each other. We always treated each other with great love and respect at all times. That could never have happened with anyone else. You always said that God saved the best for last and you were so right when you said that. You mean everything to me. I know that I mean everything to you too. Every once in a while someone will tell me how impressed they were with the love that we showed and had for each other. I thank God for you every day of my life and I know that He will always bless us and keep us in His loving care and give us the grace that we need until we are together for eternity. I love you my darling with all of my heart and soul. Thank you for loving me and being so good to me. I will be with you soon.

Your loving forever wife.

My dearest darling angel husband. The best thing to do when I am feeling down is to send you a little note since you are not here for me to talk to. I love you with all of my heart and soul. I miss you with all of my heart and soul. I need you with all of my heart and soul and I long to be with you with all of my heart and soul. I am feeling so depressed without you here with me today. This is one of the days when I need you so much and the emptiness without you is almost more than I can bear. The days are so long and the nights even longer without you. I am having one of those times when I can't hold back the tears. We were meant to be together and it is just so hard because we are not together right now when we are supposed to be. I wish the day would hurry and come for me to come home to you and be with you again. I know you are waiting very anxiously for me just the same as I am anxiously waiting to come to you. I talk to you a lot and I kiss your pictures a lot but that does not ease this awful aching in my heart. I know that you love me and I know that God loves me and neither of you want me to feel this downhearted. I try to think of all the fun and loving times we had together. I think of you singing "you are my sunshine " to me and I can almost hear your sweet voice. I look at pictures of us together and think of the things we were doing when the pictures were taken and at times like this they just make me miss you even more. Time isn't doing anything at all to help. I know that God will bless us both and keep us in His tender loving care until the day comes when we are together forever. I thank Him for you every day and I thank you for all of the love and devotion you gave to me and still give to me. You are so very precious and special to me. I love you my darling with all of my heart and soul. I will always be

Happy Sabbath day to the love of my life, my dear sweet husband. I love you with all of my heart and soul. I miss you with all of my heart and soul. I need you with all of my heart and soul and I long to be with you with all of my heart and soul. We are soul mates. We both knew that real soon after we met. We also knew real soon after we met that we were the love of each other's lives. Life without you is so very hard. Some days I feel as though I won't be able to make it through the day. But by the grace of God I am able to go on. My heart breaks over and over again when I think of you. Thank you for all of the wonderful memories that you left for me to hold on to. When we are together again forever all of these lonely days will be forgotten and we will have joy forever and ever. I thank God for you ever day of my life. He was so very good to us. He knew exactly what we both needed and he gave us each other to love for eternity. I thank Him for that with all of my heart.
I didn't go to church today. I was feeling really tired and achy so I went back to bed. This is one of those days that I am feeling my age. You kept me feeling young all of the time and I miss that. I think we made each other young. Just think, when we are together forever we will always be young. That is really a wonderful thought.
I love you honey and I am looking forward to the day when we will be together for all eternity. God will keep us in His care and love us unconditionally until that day comes.

Good morning my sweet darling husband. It is early in the morning and I can't sleep so I thought I would send you and note and tell you that I love you with all of my heart and soul and I miss you with all of my heart and soul and I need you with all of my heart and soul and I long to be with you with all of my heart and soul. You are the love of my life and we are soul mates. God brought us together so we could share our wonderful marriage and He blessed it in Heaven and we will enjoy it for all eternity. Just thinking of these things fills my heart with so much warmth and joy. Thank you for loving me so very much and showing it in every way possible. You were and still are my sunshine just like I am you sunshine. I can still hear you singing that to me. I am so thankful to God for bringing us together and allowing us to love each other more than anything or any body in the whole world. You are such a special person. We had such a wonderful life together and we will again when I get to come home to you. I get really anxious for that day to come but I know that I have to wait a little while longer. So I will just try to be as patient as I can and hang on to all of the lovely dreams and memories. Thank you for coming in to my dreams. that is so comforting to me. It reassures me of you love for me and I know that you are also trying to be patient while you are waiting for me. I will come running into your arms when I get there and we will be together for eternity. I think about what you had to go through here. You will never have to be hurt like that again and neither us will ever have to be sick or suffer in any way. We will just enjoy pure love and happiness. God will keep us in His care and give us the grace we need until that day comes. I love you with all of my heart and soul.

I need you with all of my heart and soul and I long to be with you with all of my heart and soul. you are the love of my life and we are soul mates.

We are still having cold weather here. It went down to 27 degrees last night and is supposed to get really cold again tonight. It will pass in a few days and be warm again. I haven't been getting out in it very much. It has been really windy here too. I have to get the leaf blower out and clean the porch off. I am going to wait until it warms up a little later in the afternoon.
I love you so very much and I am just waiting for the day to come when the Lord sends His angels for me and brings me home to you. He knows our hearts and He will keep us in His loving care until that day comes.

Good afternoon to my darling husband on the cold wintery day. It is really cold here. 41 degrees but my heart is warm with the love I have for you and the love that you have filled my heart with. I love you so very much with all of my heart and soul. I miss you so very much with all of my heart and soul. I need you so very much with all of my heart and soul. If you were here we would be all snuggled up on the couch watching television and keeping each other nice and warm. We did that so many times when it was cold outside and we would usually end up falling asleep in each other's arms and having a nice winter nap together, I miss those times so very much. I long to be with you so very much to fill this loneliness in my life. I am so looking forward to that day to come when the Lord will call me home to be with you for eternity. What a blessed day that will be. Life without you so so empty and void of any happiness. I went visiting teaching this morning with sister Ahl and she was talking about how our love for each other was so obvious. She said it is too bad that we didn't have 50 years together. I told her how you would say that God saved the best for last. She said Phil would tell everyone about how much love and devotion we had for each other. All of my happiness lies in the fact that I know we will be together again when the Lord calls me home and It will be forever. I know that God will keep us in His loving care until then. I love you honey.

Good morning honey, It is a cold winder day here but my heart is very warmed by the wonderful love that you have for me and all of the devotion you gave me and still give to me. Thank you for the wonderful kiss. I love you with all of my heart and soul. I miss you with all of my heart and soul. I need you with all of my heart and soul and I long to be with you with all of my heart and soul. I had just fallen asleep last night when you came and gave me a very sweet and gentle kiss. It really warmed my heart and made me so very happy. Thank you honey. Those special times keep me going and knowing how very much we love each other.
It is really cold here right now. It is 35 degrees right now. It is going to warm up to 45 degrees for the high and then tonight it is going to drop down to 20 degrees. Our house is nice and cozy warm. I am thankful for that. This cold front is supposed to last for several days. I am so glad that we don't have very many days like this. I am also glad that I live here instead of Ohio. They are really getting pounded with snow and cold. I am glad you wanted me to stay here. I am glad that you picked this place to start with. Of all the ones that we looked at I liked this one best too just like you did. We have really made some good friends here.
I love you so very much honey and the day will soon come when we will be together for all eternity. Your kisses won't just be in my dreams any more but they will be real again just like they were before the Lord took you home. I will come home to you soon and we will have the wonderful marriage God blessed us with again and it will last forever. God will keep us in his in His tender love and grace until that day comes.

Good morning my dear sweetheart husband.

I love you so very much. I miss you so vey much. I need you so very much and I long to be with you so very much. You are the love of my life. The message that I sent yesterday didn't get printed but just know this. I told you that I love you, miss you, need you and long to be with you with all of my heart and soul. As you always told me and you were right, we are soul mates and God meant for us to be together and saved the best for last. I can still hear you telling me that. You are so very precious to me. I am always thinking of the nice things you did for me and the sweet things you would say to me. There was never a doubt that you meant it because you always told me that too. I love you so very much. The day will come and soon I hope when we will be together again and the love we share will live on throughout eternity. I thank God for you everyday and I thank you everyday for the love you gave to me and still give to me. Thank you honey from the bottom of my heart.
We have another cold spell coming through. It won't be so bad during the day but at night it will be in the 20-30 degree range. I am thankful for our warm home. I am thankful that I was able to buy it and bring you home to it. you loved it so much. I can still see you crying and telling your friends "Jean did this all for me". I did do it for you so I could bring you home. When the doctors and therapist advised me to find a nursing home for you I absolutely refused. I wanted to take care of you. I am so thankful that I did. You loved me so much for that. You never forgot it. Almost every day you would say thank you for taking such good care of me. I am thankful for the help that I go from Phil and at the end the help that I got from hospice. They were so good.
I love you so very much and I know for sure that God is watching over us both and keeping us in His tender loving care until the day comes when I can come home to you.

Your forever loving wife.

Good morning "Dick" my precious husband
I love you with all of my heart and soul. you are the love of my life. I miss you with all of my heart and soul. We are soul mates. I need you with all of my heart and soul. life without you is like having no air to breathe. I long to be with you with all of my heart and soul. We were meant to be together. I thank God for you every day and I know for sure that we will be together for eternity when it is my time to leave this earth and come home to you. Our love for each other has been sealed and blessed by God the eternal Father. He really loves us and wants us to be together and to be happy. You always told me that I made you a better person but it wasn't me that made you a better person. It was when you accepted Jesus Christ as you Savior. Your sins were forgiven and your heart was filled with joy and love. From then on you were a better person. The same was with me. We were able to see what true love was all about and God blessed our marriage in heaven. We were able to see and feel all of the love that we had for each other and all of the love He had for us. I am so thankful to Him and to you for all of the precious love and devotion that you have for me. He will always bless us and keep us close to Him and give us the grace we need until we are together again for eternity in Heaven. I love you so very much.

Good morning to my precious angel husband.
I love you with all of my heart and soul. I miss you with all of my heart and soul. I need you with all of my heart and soul. I long to be with you with all of my heart and soul. I can't tell you these things enough. You told me that I made you very happy when I said nice things to you and told you how much I love you. I know you still love hearing them. I tell you every day because I always want to make you happy. We are soul mates. You told me that right after you met me. You said we were meant to be together. I think about the day we talked about getting married. We were sitting on the porch at Springwood Lake in East Sparta, Ohio. After that we told Larraine and Luther, Dave and Peggy, my children, my best friend Pat and our neighbor Diana. Everyone was so glad for us. We knew then that just living together was wrong and we wanted to have a relationship that pleased God. He was pleased and He blessed our marriage and made it the most wonderful relationship ever. I wanted to get married in Ohio before we came to South Carolina and you said we should wait until we got to South Carolina so that is what we did. We were both very happy and you always loved me so much and was so very devoted to me. I love you so much for the way you treated me . You always let me know how much you love me. Thank you for that honey. We didn't have very long together but we had a wonderful marriage and relationship while we were together. I thank God for you every single day. You would tell me all of the time that God saved the best for last. He really did. We have so much love for each other. We will have the same love back when the Lord takes me home to be with you and it will be even more precious. We will never have to worry about being torn apart again. It will be for all of eternity and we will be blessed again because we will be in the presence of our Heavenly Father and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who made all of this possible for us. I love you with all of my heart and soul and until we are together again I know that God will always hold us in His loving arms and give us grace.

Good Morning honey,
The sun is shining brightly and the high temperature today will be near 60. I sang "you are my sunshine " to you when I got up this morning. You will always be my sunshine. I remember very well the morning you said to me "you are my sunshine" and you sang it so me. You loved singing that song to me in the morning when we would wake up so now I sing it to you. You will forever be my sunshine. I love you with all of my heart and soul and my love just keeps getting stronger every day. I miss you with all of my heart and soul every minute of every day. I need you with all of my heart and soul. I need to touch you and see your face and talk to you and just be with you. I long to be with you with all of my heart and soul and I am so looking forward to the day when the Lord calls me home to be with you forever. Life without you is like life without air to breathe.
Dale came over yesterday and put an over the door rack on my pantry door. It is so nice and really gave me a lot more room on my pantry shelves. He is always doing something for me. I am so thankful for him and I know you are too. He feels just like one of my kids. I am so glad that you asked him to watch over me and help me when I need it.
I love you so much honey. I am so thankful to God for you and for the way He holds us in His loving care and gives us grace until we are together forever in Heaven.

Good afternoon my Darling husband.
I love you so very much and I am so lonesome without you. My world stopped turning and my life came to a halt the day the Lord came and took you home. As days go by the hurt gets stronger and stronger and so does my love for you. I will forever be longing to be with you until the Lord comes and takes me home too. Every day brings me closer and I am thankful for that. I am thankful to God for the time even though short that we had together. I have come to realize that it isn't how long a relationship last but the love that was put into the relationship that matters most. We both put all of our heart and souls into our love for each other and that is what made it the most precious relationship ever. Thank you honey for all of the love and devotion. You really put your whole heart and soul into your love for me. You are the most special person I have ever known. I am so very happy that God let us find each other and blessed our wonderful marriage. It was for sure a marriage made in heaven. Any one that really knew us knows tat our love for each other was special and real. It was for sure a forever love. I know that God loves us and intended for us to be together forever and He will keep us in His loving care and give us the grace that we need to sustain us until we are together again. I love you my darling.

Good morning to my precious loving husband. I love you with all of my heart and soul. I miss you with all of my heart and soul. I need you with all of my heart and soul and I long to be with you with all of my heart and soul. You and me is the way it was meant to be the love of each other's life and soul mates for sure. The love that we have for each other can never or will it ever die but live on for all eternity. You are so very precious to me and I thank God for you every day. Thank you for loving me with all of you heart and soul and picking me to be with for all eternity. When you told me the first time that you wanted to be with me for all eternity, I ask you if you were sure about that and you said we were meant to be together and you knew we were soul mates and you had never loved anyone the way you love me. I was so happy because I sure want to be with you for eternity. You made me the happiest woman that ever lived when you told me that. I love you so very much.
We are having nice weather again. It rained yesterday but in the afternoon the sun came out and the temperature is in the high 60s. The sun has a lot to warmth to it. I hope we have an early spring. I am anxious to get in the yard and work. especially in your memorial garden. The freeze that we had was very hard on it. I will have it cleaned up and beautiful again in no time. Every one comments on how beautiful it is. I know you love it.
I am longing to be with you more an more every day. Until the day comes when I can come home to you I know that God will keep us in His loving care and give us the grace we need. I love you honey.

your loving wife and eternal companion

Good morning my darling husband.
It is a dreary rainy day here today. That is just the way I feel without you here with me. I love you with all of my heart and soul and I miss you with all of my heart and soul and I need you with all of my heart and soul and I long to be with you with all of my heart and soul and if I say these things a million times or more I will mean every one of them every time I say them. You are the love of my life and I am yours. We are soul mates and it has always been meant for us to be together. I thank God for you every single day of my life and I thank you for loving me so unconditionally and always letting me know that I was the most important person in the world to you. It is such a joy to know that one day we will be together again and we will never have to b apart ever again. There will be no way anyone can interfere or hurt us in any way. There won't be any letters to upset you or hurt you and you and I will be free from all of the earthly cares and woes and free to love each other for eternity. We will spend eternity with our Lord and Savior and thanking Him for all of our blessings and for His great sacrifice. We will be with our Heavenly Father who brought us together with love and kindness and let us know the complete love and relationship that we shared. Until then my darling He will keep us in His loving care and give us the grace that we need to endure our separation until we are together forever. I love you with all of my heart and soul.

Good afternoon my darling husband. I love you with all of my heart and soul. I miss you with all of my heart and soul. I need you with all of my heat and soul and I long to be with you with all of my heart and soul. Sometimes I feel like I am losing my mind. Yesterday I had written to you acknowledging that you had been gone from me for eleven months. Then later I wrote to you again saying you had been gone from me for one year. Some days my mind just goes around in circles. I am having a terrible time living without you. I was thinking about the morning you passed away and it just got embedded in my mind that it had been a year. It seems like an eternity since I had to say goodbye to you but on the other hand it seems like you were here yesterday. I will never be able to accept it. I still wake up in the morning and look over to your side of the bed to see you. I miss you so much. I can't hardly make it any more without you. I know that you and God are watching over me and I know that you and God really love me and I know that you try to comfort me in my pain and heartaches. Thank you for that. You are the love of my life. I never knew that I could ever love anyone so very much the way I love you and living without you is really taking it's toll on me. When you would tell me how very much you love me and how you felt your life was finally complete, my heart would swell up inside me and I would be the happiest I have ever been in my entire life. My life will never be the same until we are back together again just the way we should be. I pray for the strength that I need to hold on until that day comes when we are together again in Heaven just the way we were promised by our God who loves us unconditionally. I love you my darling for all of eternity.

your forever darling wife.

My Dearest Darling Angel husband. You have been gone from me one year today. My heart and my life have a void as big as a mountain. I wish I could just close my eyes and I would be with you . I love you with all of my heart and soul. Some days it seems as though I just can't make it through the day without you. I miss you with all of my heart and soul. Every minute away from you seems like an eternity. I need you so very much. The days are long and the nights are even longer without you. I long to be with you with all of my heart and soul. My love for you just keeps getting stronger and stronger. I know your sweet spirit is with me all of the time. I can feel you around me. But I want to touch you and hold you and kiss you and see that wonderful look of love that you always gave to me. I really miss all of those things so very much. The only happiness that I know now is the fact that I know we will be together one day and we will never have to part again. That is the only thing that keeps me going day after day. We are soul mates. You always said that and you always said that you wanted to spend eternity with me. We will honey. Heavenly Father promised us that and He always keeps His promises. The day will come when it will be my turn to leave this earth and come home to you and we will never have to be apart again. We will only know true happiness from then on. eternity is a long time and that is how long we will have each other to love. I Thank God for you every day and I Thank you every day for your love. God will always keep us in is loving care and bless us with all of the grace we need until we are together again in Heaven with Him and our Savior.

Your forever loving wife.

My dearest honey "Dick". Eleven months ago today at 6:12 AM the Lord came and took you home to be with Him for eternity. I have lived with this broken heart since that very moment. I love you with all of my heart and soul and I miss you with all of my heart and soul and I need you with all of my heart and soul and I long to be with you with all of my heart and soul. Half of me went with you when you left. I will never forget the way you cried when you knew you had to leave me. Your heart was broken because you didn't want to leave me. The last words I ever heard you say were "I LOVE YOU" and I knew you meant them. Things will never be the same until we are together again for eternity with our Savior and our Heavenly Father. We both have that promise and we know that day will come. It will be such a happy day for both of us. I love you so very much and I will be so happy when we are together again. I know you will be too and I know you are waiting with your arms outstretched to hold me again. God will keep us in His loving care until that blessed day comes.

Your forever wife

Good morning to the most special person I have ever known, my wonderful husband "Dick" Heath. I love you with all of my heart and soul. I miss you with all of my heart and soul. I need you with all of my heart and soul and I long to be with you with all of my heart and soul. Living without you is like living without air to breath. I would never be able to find enough words to tell you just how much I love and miss you and how lonely I am without you. We are the love of each other's lives and we are soul mates. You always told me that you knew we were meant to be together. I know this is true. We had a very beautiful relationship and God blessed us and was so good to us. Once we both accepted Christ as our Savior our relationship with each other got even better. You talked about your dad a lot and how he loved the Lord and how you loved him. You said the two of you were very close. I am glad for that and I know that the two of you have some wonderful conversations now.
I thank God for you everyday and I thank you for all of the love and devotion you gave to me all of the time and still give to me from heaven. I love you so very much and I know that God will always keep us in His loving care and give us grace sufficient to keep us until we are together for all eternity.

your forever loving wife

I miss you so very much. with all of my heart and soul I miss you. I need you so very much. With all of my heart and soul I need you. I long to be with you so very much. With all of my heart and soul I long to be with you. Life is so very empty without you. I don't know how I lived for seventy five years without you. I am so sorry that we didn't have more time together here on the earth. I am so very thankful to God to know that we will be together for all eternity when He lets me come home. I know you will come running to meet me with your arms outstretched to hold me. I have so many precious memories that keep me going from day to day without you and I spend a lot of time thinking about all of the love we shared and all of the fun times we had together and all of the joy and happiness that we gave to each other. Though it was short , it was the best time of my whole life. I am so looking forward to the time when we can just pick up where we left off and enjoy that wonderful love forever. You are for sure the love of my life, my sunshine and my soul mate. I know for sure that I am the love of your life, your sunshine and your soul mate. God is so good to us and I thank Him every day. He will always love us and he will always hold us in the palm of His hand. He will give us grace to sustain us until the time comes for us to be together in Heaven with Him and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. That will be a very joyous time for us both. I love you my darling husband.

Good morning "Dick" my angel husband
I love you with all of my heart and soul. Thank you for the love you gave me in return. I miss you with all of my heart and soul. Every day without you seems like an eternity. I need you so much. You took such good care of me and I miss that so much. I long to be with you with all of my heart and soul. I will be so happy when we are together again. I thank God for you every day and I know the day will come when we will be back together and we will never have to be apart again. I thank you everyday for all of the love and devotion that you gave to me while you were with me here and that you are still giving to me from heaven. you are the love of my life and my soul mate. And I know that you feel the same way about me. you always had a special way of showing your love and devotion to me.
The weather is a lot better here today than it has been. We are having some sunshine mixed with clouds and the temperature is going to be in the 50s. Each day is going to be a little warmer until we get back up to 70 degrees. I am really ready for the 80s and 90s. It won't be long until it reaches that. That is my kind of weather.
It is pretty quiet around here. Everyone is still trying to thaw out I guess. The campground was a mess with all of the water frozen up.
I love you so very much honey. I know that our Heavenly Father will watch over us with His precious love and hold us close to Him and give us the grace we need until we are together again for eternity. He loves us and He knows our hearts and how much love we have for each other. He will never forsake us.

you forever loving wife

Good morning to my darling angel husband.
Winter is over. It will be 47 degrees by early afternoon and by Friday it will be 70 degrees. I love it. I am sure we will have a few more cold days though but I hope not like the last couple of days. I made it through the cold spell just fine. The house stayed nice an warm and I didn't have any trouble with the water. I am so thankful for that. I think I might venture out today for a little while. I have some business to take care of. You always took care of all of the business and I never had to worry about it. I knew you would take care of everything. I liked it that way. I don't have any problems taking care of things now but I loved it when you were here to do it and I didn't have to worry about forgetting to do something. There isn't a lot to take care of now. Just lot rent, insurance and utilities. That is so nice. We really worked good together to get everything the way we wanted it. I was finally able to talk you into getting the things that you had always wanted and to go places you wanted to go. You did those things and I am happy. We had so many fun times together. WE sure did a lot of traveling. You said we did more traveling than you had ever done. You really loved it and I did too. I can take care of myself now. I have a good income that is mine that I earned and I can live good on it.
I was thinking about how you used to wait on me hand and foot. You would never let me do anything for myself. My sugar crashed the other night and I was thinking how you would get upset when that happened and no matter what time of the night it was you would jump out of be and hold on to me as I went down the stairs because you were so afraid I would fall. you would sit right beside me until my sugar came back to normal. I miss all of that attention. I don't have any stairs now so that is good and I don't have far to go to grab something when my sugar crashes. I really miss the way you would take my hand and prayed for me and it always worked. Thank you for that honey. I miss all of those sweet prayers. I love you with all of my heart and soul. I miss you with all of my heart and soul. I need you with all of my heart and soul and I long to be with you with all of my heart and soul. You are my soul mate and the love of my life and I am yours. I thank God for you every day and I know that he will keep us in His loving tender care and give us the grace that we need until that day comes when we will be together in Heaven for all eternity with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and Our Heavenly Father. I am waiting and longing for that day to come.

Your forever loving wife.
