Not sure what to say?

Ken. I miss you my friend!
I walk your land every day and think about you and Kathy, and your dream to live above the trees , gazing out at the Fall River valley.
Kathy, where every you are, much love to you.

It's been a while. I know we are with each other. Tough few years but I'm better. Will always have bad days. I miss you so. Kenny, I hope you found Susie when she left us this morning. Everything happened so fast, to hospital January, cancer, was there til last week when she went home with hospice. Gary is in Alzheimer care. I cared for him for a while after Susie went to hospital and Erin found a place for him. He is in a better place. He told me his brother-in-law gave him that lizard...

Thinking of you on this rainy day uncle Ken and missing you deeply.

Dear Ken,
Just a few days ago we marked the 5th year since you left this life. The very next day Mom suffered a cancer-related crisis, was hospitalized at Mercy with hospice and slipped quietly away from me around 2 a.m. this morning. But you know all this and you and Daddy and our furs are already hugging and kissing her and catching up. Mom was so tired of this life and her failing body. I will miss her all the time, like I miss you. I know you are all waiting for me.

Dear Ken,
Today I sent Ben to you over the Rainbow Bridge, our sweet, sweet boy. I think he will hear you and prance to you joyfully. I will always miss you and love you.
Kathy

Dear husband,
It's 70 degrees here on a January day. I finished pruning the front roses, then took off my shoes and socks and laid on the grass. Sid and Bella were with me. I looked up through the bare branches of our birch trees at the blue sky and thought of you, looking down at us. I feel your spirit with us, but am so lonely without you.
Love always,
Your forever wife

Dear Husband,
Today you would have been 71 years old. It is our first 100 degree day this year, beautiful and sunny, the red rhododendren in full bloom, the jasmine filling the house with its perfume. But you are not here to share it with, so for me it is dark and lonely.
Missing you,
Kathy

I sent Sammie to you today. I held and kissed him and sang his songs to him. He patted my face. And then he crossed the Rainbow Bridge to join you and his brothers and sisters. Another hole in my heart. Now that small spot on my lap is empty, for the first time in nineteen years. I am so lonely without you....

My Valentine,
I no longer have any words to express how much I miss you and our life together.
I think of you now as weary of your travels through the universe, except for something special like an eclipse. Instead I see you sitting in one of two adirondack chairs in front of a little cabin at the edge of a forest overlooking a meadow and stream. Leon, Lulu, Max and Lizzie are with you. I think Sam will be there soon. Please be looking for him on the Rainbow Bridge.
I...
