I N L OVING M EMORY OF A Special Husband

Words cannot explain how heartbroken I am that you are gone. It’s been 16 years and 10 months that God blessed us to be together and have three handsome young boys and one gorgeous daughter. A million tears won’t bring you back, I know because I have cried. So, I have accepted the great loss and I thank God for your life and what he used you to do. God has been good to us as a family, and you always testified of God’s goodness in our lives. Oh, how I yearn to see your comforting smile again and hear you tell me how beautiful I am. You were always there to give me words of encouragement and make me laugh. We could sit and talk for hours, days and weeks and never get tired of each other. I will always fight for your hard work and your achievements; and what you believe in and make you proud. You were a fighter and in the end, you reigned victorious and will forever be missed, I LOVE YOU BABY!!! Love Always,

Your wife and best friend Kendra

M Y D EAREST Son I am writing this letter to you today with a heavy heart. I can't believe you're gone. It feels like just yesterday I was holding you in my arms for the first time. I'm so proud of the man you became. You were kind, compassionate, and always willing to help others. You had a bright future ahead of you, and I'm so heartbroken that it was cut short. Every morning when I open my eyes, my first thought is you, and I realize you are not here, and I ask God “why”. I may not ever know the reason, but I know he gave me the gift of feeling you in my soul. I'm going to miss you so much. I'll miss your smile, your laugh, and the way you always made me feel loved and supported. I'll miss just being together. Your presence will be truly missed. I know you're in a better place now, but I still can't help but feel sad. I'm so angry that you had to go so soon. My world is crushed, and my heart is numb. I know you would want me to be strong. You would want me to live my life to the fullest and to never give up, so that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to live every day for you. I'm going to make you proud son. I love you more than words can say. Love always, Mom

W HEN T OMORROW S TARTS W ITHOUT Me When tomorrow starts without me, and I’m not there to see; if the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me. I wish so much you wouldn’t cry the way you did today, While thinking of the many things we didn’t get to say. I know how much you loved me, as much as I loved you, and each time you think of me, I know you’ll miss me too; But when tomorrow starts without me, please try to understand, that an angel came and called my name and took me by the hand, and said my place was ready in heaven far above and that I’d have to leave behind all those I dearly love. But as I turned to walk away, a tear fell from my eye, for all life, I’d always thought I didn’t want to die. I had so much to live for and so much yet to do, it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you. I thought of all the yesterdays, the good ones and the bad, I thought of all the love we shared and all the fun we had. If I could relive yesterday I thought just for awhile, I’d say goodbye and kiss you and maybe see you smile. But then I fully realized that this could never be, for emptiness and memories would take the place of me. But when I walked through heaven’s gate, I felt so much at home. When God looked down and smiled at me, from his great golden throne. He said, “This is eternity and all I’ve promised you.” Today for life on what has past but here it starts anew. I promise no tomorrow, but today will always last, and since each day’s the same day, there’s no longing for the past. So when tomorrow starts without me, don’t think we’re far apart, for every time you think of me, I’m right here in your heart.
