I, william Hand miss you. Think about you all the time. My heart has been very heavy since you left. Nothing seems the same. I look at your cars and imagine you zooming off in your volkswagon and us going to AC. Miss you, my love.

William,
I miss you and our life together. Getting to be and remaining in synch with someone is not an overnight accomplishment. You and I were in synch and were fortunante to have been so for many years. I thank God for you and our time together. It's funny how no matter how much you do when a person is alive, you seem to have never done enough or should have done more or differently when that person is gone. I feel that way. I know though without doubt that we had each other's back throughout and that is most comforting. Miss you with all my heart.

Everything I do, everywhere I go, so go you. That's what our lives were like. Even when we parted to do our separate things, I was comforted to see you on my return and I know you, me. This is so hard. Grief is awful.
I try to comfort myself knowing that God knew best and relying on the fact that God never puts more on you than you can handle. Please know, I miss you and that I remain,
Your Loving wife and Best Companion in the World. Again William darling, this is oh so hard.

My Dear Husband,
I never thought our journey would end. We spent so much time together and did everything together for the last 28 going on 29 years that I am at such a loss. I have never felt so alone- that there is noone there to have my back or to just be there.
Please know that I love you and miss you so much.We went all the way, William. Gosh, God is good. You were a Blessing..
Always and forever,
Your Wife,
Wanda
