Lee, you will always be the love of my life, and the spark that keeps me going. Each day is a struggle, but with all the special memories we made from preschool graduation right on to 26 1/2 years of marriage, and two wonderful kids, I'll take one step at a time and promise to do the very best I can to make you proud with the way I take care of the kids, home, and farm. I'll always love you! Enjoy your time in heaven now that you are no longer in pain, and we'll meet again one day! Until then, I'll pray for support and comfort from our Almighty God above. Love always, "Sunshine", better known by you and the kids in the past few years as "Mooma, Booma, Ill-Thang"
