My husband it's now been 7 months since you lift us. I mess you very much sometimes while I'm at work I turn to call you like I've done so much in the past for one thing or another.
I'm staying with Felicia, Manuel and the kids they have been real good for me.
There is so much to say but the most important is that I've always Truly Loved You. I never realized how much until you lift me. So until we meet again always remember my love for you.
Your Wife
