I just found information on your funeral, anyway, I just wanted to tell you that I LOVE AND WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART. I was so excited when you were coming to Florida to pick me up and take me back to New York with you to begin our lives together again. You have been the love of my life. I'm also happier than ever when you told me that you felt the same way about me. Your life unfortunately was cut way too short, but we both know in our hearts that we were meant for each other and we would be together FOREVER. When you asked me on the phone to be your wife, that was truly the happiest day of my life, its just sad that we weren't able to make that happen before you went home to God. Just know that I'm truly looking forward to joining you at some point. I LOVE YOU RICKY!!!
