Not sure what to say?

Today was 18 years since your passing, and the first time without Wendy. But I am overjoyed that you are now both together again and I know you are dancing the days away! I love and miss you both so much. -Your Daughter, Lillian

Father's day is always bittersweet, but this year especially so. You've been gone for nearly 18 years now, half my life. And now Wendy is also gone. I last spoke to her on mother's day. Our love for you and each other never faded. I promise to carry on your memories and share the love you both shared for everyone! Although it's bittersweet that you are both gone now, I know you are finally reunited and dancing together. I love you both so much and always will. Love your daughter

Jerry, I said farewell to Wendy 2 days ago and spent the last two nights dreaming of you two together. I hope you found one another and can laugh together again. No matter the distance between us over the years I will always cherish our summers together. To the Moon, Alice.

March 6, 2025 Our 32nd Wedding Anniversary Jerry comes to me in unexpected ways, but he always comes. And when he does, I just look up and say to myself , " I know that was you". I still have to stop when I see or hear something he would have liked and think , " you should still be here" because he just hated to miss anything. With Jerry, there was always something to discover. In a world where I have always been happiest with the moon and stars, Jerry taught me to also love the light.

Thirty-one years together....seventeen years apart.

I was supposed to spend the rest of my life with Jerry and then I realized that he spent the rest of his life with me. I am fortunate because I know he loved me until the day he left and I will carry him in my heart until the day we are together again.

"I thought of you today but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and your picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake from which I´ll never part. God has you in His arms,I have you in my heart. " March 6, 2023 Wendy in St. Augustine
