My husband, you have always only ever wanted to spread joy and happiness to those around you. You were such a joy to be around and you would light up the room for everyone with your presence. Your smile would melt the coldest heart. A teacher, a veteran, animal lover, a musician, a historian, a husband, a brother, an uncle, and son. You have touched the lives of so many we will never fathom all the gifts your life has given to this world. You have blessed this world with your spirit and now you are a blessing for the next. You have had such a full life and even though your body may be done with this world the full life you had will continue on as a betterment of this world forever. I am so blessed to have had the chance to be loved by you and to share my love with you. My protector, I am honored you chose me to be the one to hold you and comfort you in your final moments. I know we will be together again. I feel you guiding me in this life still always watching out for me. Every time I stop to think about you I am constantly crying and sobbing for the great loss this world will be without you in it. You were a light in the dark for so many. I know you are the light in this much darker world of mine now. I LOVE you so much!!! Have a good time riding the horses in the clouds spreading love and light!!!
