I never knew what true LOVE was until you. You treated me just like a Queen. I'm forever grateful to have shared a lifetime of our memories together. I worry each day when our daughter gets older on how I will have to tell her that you're not here physically and what happened on that day we lost you.

I still wake up from dreams only to realize that this is now our reality. The dreams consist of me asking you "Why aren't you coming home?" I'm not over you and I don't think I ever will. We love you forever. One day the world will learn of our love story.
Until we meet again my love

Your wife and daughter
