Mary, my love, my light, my life. I asked God for you even before I knew you. A favor I asked from my youth for a loving faithful mate, someone to share our lives and to grow old with. God was good to me and granted me this favor, a girl named Mary. My love, you have been the inspiration through which God guided us through this journey we have been on for our 54 years. As I look back on the years past, I can see the guiding hand of God shining the light we were to follow through you as you had so many of the wonderful ideas that shaped our lives. I feel so very lost as you are my best friend, my consoler, my partner and my lover. I know that you are now free from the trauma and pain of your tortured body. We do not understand why our journey ended as it did, but i thank God every day for you as my life partner, best friend and love of my life. May God welcome you to his heavenly home with open arms.
