Ginny, I am extra sad today for some reason. I think it's because this would be the time of year you loved the most when it's cooler outside day and night. You loved to look at the stars and find the big dipper. I also miss our long talks on the phone with my ear buds on so we could talk to each other while I was at work. I pray everyday for God to take me home or to send Jesus back. This world is such a evil place but you always put the light in a world of darkness. God knows I miss you and I know you know even though you can't see me but we will see each other again soon. As you told me this life here on earth is just a blink compared to eternity in Heaven. I love you my dear.

I'm going to miss you so much my sweet girl. You gave me another reason to believe in life. You fought for yours and always strived to be the best person ever. You were a gracious lady who took my great grandson Xavier under your wing and helped him by guiding him to always do his best. You gave unconditional love to me and Xavier and for that I'll always love you. You had the tightest knit family who supported you thru all of your health issues. I'll always see you mowing the grass, head phones on your head and just singing away and doing what you wanted to do. You loved life. David and family and friends by showing and saying so. You are one of a kind baby girl. God made you special. And for that I'll always cherish you in my heart forever hon. Love and miss you.

Honey I wanted to say that I will always love you and only you. You Kept me in check, loved me unconditionally and I never would trade what we had for the world. I am hurting inside so bad and I know you told me not to do that but I lost my other half. We got through the lowest lows and Always came out on top. I will miss everything about you Like our road trips, Watching Monk after I got home, always looking for that next adventure. Can't forget about fishing. I could write a book about all the good stuff we got to experience. What I will miss the most are when either of us went somewhere by ourselves and when we woke up and went to bed we always told each we loved each other and we kissed each other after we said it. I love you. I will always love you and there will never be another my love. I pray for when my time comes to see you waiting for me in heaven. Love you so much. Your hubby. David
