Today we remember a Husband, a Father, a Opa, an Uncle, a Brother and a friend. It's hard to imagine it's been a year since you were called home. The pain of your absence is deeply felt by myself, your daughters, and all who knew you. You may no longer be here with us, but not a day goes by that we don't think of you. You are still our calm in the storm, constant steadfast, our Popeye full of strength, and the love of my life. We celebrate your memory and share your legacy of love, hard work, perseverance, and kindness. We will never forget, and you live every moment in our hearts. I'm so thankful for getting to share your life by your side as your wife. Thank you for all your love and support through all these years. My love for you only grows more each day, and though I cannot see you, you are always by my side. I miss you and love you. Until we meet again, my love.
