My Darling,
I am sitting here with my heart breaking looking at your picture wondering why you couldn't be a part of my future. With tears running down my face asking God why he took you from me. You were a part of me. When you died a part of me died too. I know you are watching over me. I miss you more and more everyday. All I can do is pray. You shall remain in my heart and soul forever. I love you and I am missing you.

Baby
I am not as strong as I thought I was since you have been gone. I sit and cry all night long from dusk til dawn.
Another day comes I have to pretend that I am strong as soon as the day is over I go home and quit pretending I am strong. I sit and cry all night long because you are gone. I don't have to pretend to be strong.

I am still missing you very much. I love you and I cherish the life we had together.

Rest in Peace My Darling. I will see you again one day.

Vicky

Every time I look out the front door Terry is there cutting up those trees. His memory will go on forever in the hearts of all that knew and loved him. All is not lost. He will be beside you the rest of of your days.

If tears could build a stairway and memories were a lane,
We would walk all the way to Heaven, to bring you home again
No farewell words were spoken, no time to say good-bye
You were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why
Our hearts ache in sadness, and secret tears will flow
What is meant to lose you, no one will ever know
I LOVE YOU DADDY....

November 30, 2009

As each day passes I sit and wonder why you were taken from me, with tears running down my face I think of life without you and it really makes me cry. I think of the future and nothing seems to be right without you by my side. All I have is the memories and a hole in my heart. I know how much I loved you from the start. I look at the pillow beside me where you laid your head wishing you were here to hold me and tell me everything is OK. I just want the pain to go away.

I miss you and love you.

I know how happy he made you and how much he loved you. He will always live in your heart.

I unexpectedly lost someone that I loved very much. He came into my life 30 years ago. He was my soulmate. He filled my heart with such caring and unselfish love. Our love was unconditional. I loved the person that I was when I was with him and one day he was gone. He died Saturday morning November 21st. at the age of 48 in a logging accident. I am left with so much pain and my heart is breaking but,
feeling very fortunate to have had the opportunity to have met him and loved him in the way that I did. There are people that go through a life time never experiencing that Kind of Love.

Baby: Rest in peace I Love you and I am missing you so very much. We will be together again some day.

Love your wife,
Vicky
