Judy,
I cannot beleive it has been a year already!!!!!!!!!!
They say that with time we heal, but some how I feel thats not true, we will always love the ones that leave us, and miss them forever until it is time for us to be with them again!!!!!!!
I know how very hard this year has been for you!!!!!
People some how think that when a person dies ,you just go on like nothing, but we know we aren't ever the same!!!!!!!!!!!!
The missing piece of the puzzle is gone.The heart ache is still there, and all we have are memories.
Thank God for the good memories!
I wanted you to know that I will keep you in my prayers, like I know you do me.
I love you Judy, and I also miss Gerald, what a nice funny man, The ones in Heaven are blessed to have him!One day we will see him again, and know why everything is the way it is here on this cruel planet, why people are so unloving and uncaring!!!!!!!!One day, One day soon!
my thoughts are with you everyday!
Always,
Sherry Williams
