You were a very special man and will always be number 1 to me. You accepted me when I was less than perfect and loved me without conditions. No one will ever take that away from me. Most respect and love. No day will pass that you aren't thought of. I hope you have comfort and peace now. You'll never be forgotten. Love you more than words can say. Lea
