One day our paths crossed and our two lives became one. Through the years we created many memories that I now hold close to my heart. And now as I walk the path alone I know you’re watching over me guiding me through whatever life brings my way. And until the day comes when I can again feel the warmth of your touch, see the sparkle in your eyes, and see the warmth of your smile, I know you are my guardian angel and I want you to always remember that I will miss you and love you now and forever.
Love
Laura
