I never wanted to believe that I’d have to live life without you. There are no words to describe the ache that never ceases within my heart. There is no end to my grief journey because there’s no end to my love for you. People keep telling me that life goes on, but to me, that’s the saddest part. I love you Mark, and miss you so very much.❤

The moment that you left, my heart was split in two, one side filled with memories, the other side died with you. I often lay awake at night when the world is fast asleep, and take a walk down memory lane with tears upon my cheek. Remembering you is easy, I do it every day, but missing you is a heartache, that never goes away. I hold you tightly within my heart, and there you will remain, life has gone on without you, but it will never be the same.
I will forever love you. Love forever, Tami

They say when you lose someone you love, it will get easier in time. But when he is a part of your body and your soul, I dont believe losing him will ever get easier. I know I will see you again someday, but until then, I will continue to talk to you every day. You come to me in my dreams often, I get to see you and talk to you, and for now, that will have to do. I will love you eternally.
I thought of you today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and the day before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have is 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.

I never knew you were sick, or I would have been there. I will never forget Bingo, miniature golf, meetings, waiting for pizza and just "hanging out". The world has lost a special person. I love you and will think of you often and fondly. You were the best of friends ever.

May 16, 2014

This is a shock!!! I will miss our talks, Bingo, meetings and hanging for pizza. You were such a buddy to me. I will never forget you. I just wish I could have been there for you, but I never knew you were sick.
