"As I look at the picture, I see a person I could trust, I could tell her my deepest feelings and she would keep them locked away. A person who was king, listened to the cares of others without regard to herself. When life would get in the way she was there by my side navigating each and every roadblock. Her eyes could reach down in my soul and bring me back no matter the circumstances. And a smile that was so contagious, it was the first thing that I noticed about her and as I look at that smile, I know things are going to be alright. Thank you so much for sharing your life with me. I'll hold on to our love until we walk the streets of Heaven." -Love, Chris.
