It's four in the morning,I'm wide awake thinking of you. Missing you!

We had your forty day memorial service on December 3rd. All your children were there.
It was a beautiful service, tears of sorrow fell from my eyes.

Daisy Adam Alexander Christian Elisabeth and myself all received communion. I know you would be proud.
