How can you possibly love any one person so much? You fought long, hard and brave, and I am so proud of you. You kept your promise, and we were together for our 25th Anniversary. I will love you 'til my last breath, baby, and miss you to the core of soul every day. My promise to you was that Lauren & Rachael would be okay, and I will keep that promise. Smile down on them & keep showing them that Daddy is still with them.



Love,

Teresa
