Your laughter and sense of humor lives on in all of those who knew you my handsome man. Our life together has been cut short but I am thankful for all that we shared. The memories we made together will remain in my heart forever. Cancer may have taken your life but it cannot take your soul...you are whole once again and we will meet again on our next adventure. Until then, our love lives on in my heart and will always be a part of me. I love you today and always xoxoxo Marie
