To the LOVE OF MY LIFE,

You are certainly one of a kind! I've never known anyone EVER with a heart as big as yours. I've never known ANYONE who touched so many lives as you have. I have never and will never love ANYONE the way I love you....I miss you Honey Bunz!!! I want you to know that we're taking care of things here at home, you don't have to worry. Maria has been and remains my rock...she took charge when I fell apart and couldn't move. She made sure that everything that had to be done was done...and done right. "Who would have thunk it, huh?" :) (That’s what we say to each other because we know that's what you'd be saying) She really came through baby...you'd be so very proud of her!

Steve is here to sweetie and he hasn't left my side. He's taking care of the house, just the way you would. He's beside himself with grief yet still he keeps going and doing the things he knows you would be doing, you'd be very proud of him to!

Gloria took care of all the details for the reception here at home, and did a wonderful job. The only thing missing was you sweetie. :(

Shawna and Anthony: What can I say about them? We raised two wonderful children honey, they're amazing! They've been SO STRONG! I wish I had their strength. I know without a doubt that their strength comes from you and for that, I thank you.

Shawna, as I know you know, had to go back to FT. Leonard Wood to start basic training. She was strong though baby and looking forward to the challenge. She told me that she's gonna make daddy proud! And of that, I have absolutely no doubt! Watch over her and help her when she needs it most. I know I don't even have to say that...cuz' you're there with her now, I know you are!

Anthony: JUST WOW! He's such a big guy now. He's a carbon copy of you Anth! He amazes me every day...just the way you did. He's continuing with his volunteer work and his job. He looks after me and makes sure that everything is how it should be. I know that you're so, so proud of him because all of us here are....he's an amazing young man...the word 'proud' doesn't even begin to describe how we all feel.

I miss you Anthony, I miss you so very much! We all miss you! I'll love you more with every breath I take, and with every beat of my heart, I think of you.

You are my "One~ and~ Only” ALWAYS!

My heart and soul...forever and always...*Huggz*~N~*Kissez*

Your Wife for always,

Brenda
