It means a lot to me Maryann that you care about me and Angela.
Rest in Peace my love. We had so many plans for us and Angela. You were taken so quickly. I read the 23rd Psalm for you when you passed, and sang the George Jones version of “Family Bible.” I will keep up with the Redskins for you, and write letters to heaven to let you know what’s going on with your darling daughter Angela and with me. You will live forever in our hearts.
The holidays were heartbreaking without you. Our darling Angela misses you so much. I remember talking to you in the hospital and the social worker asked you how you wanted to spend your last days. You said with your loving wife and precious daughter Angela. You cried because you couldnt see us. We were planning on bringing you home with Angela and me. You were looking forward to that. I know you are watching over us. Your little stinkerweed misses you terribly. I gave her the Christmas present you bought for her. We miss you and love you so much. You will forever be in our hearts. I will cherish the pictures we have of us…our little family. Till we meet again sweetheart. Your loving wife, Carolyn
