My dearest, my heart will never recover and no one can fill the space that your departure has left in my heart. Regardless of the temptations that men succumb to no one else will ever change the wonderful life and love we have shared. We will find our place again my love. You are ever on my heart.

I had the oppurtunity to meet gary milks while I was doing my clinicals as a CNA. I met him at his most vulnerable state and am so happy that I was able to be there to listen, and give him as much hope, love and support as i could.

My friend, my love, my cowboy, my world champion

GW was my husband. We met in 1990 and enjoyed a good life. His sons were like my sons. I enjoyed seeing his dreams come true. I was honored to hold him and dry his tears when he left me. Till we meet again my love.
