My dearest Joe,
No words can express my gratitude to God for giving you to me. You were a loving husband and have given me the best 36 years of my life. I take comfort knowing you are in a better place - no more pain, no suffering and no more tears. You are with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, all the saints and have been reunited with your loved ones. Please pray for me and your whole family that we can feel the the peace and comfort of the Holy Spirit until the time that we will be reunited for eternity. May God the father hold you in his loving arms always. I will love you forever.
