One last love note for my husband Bruce -

Dear beloved. It seems our 25-year journey together has come to the end of the road. We have grown together, lived this life together, loved together, become better together and lord did we laugh together! This journey would not have been complete without you for you completed me. God said until death us do part. You've gone home before me. I will always love you beloved friend, companion, my ride or die and always my fierce protector. I will miss you so! You were always strong mentally, physically, and emotionally I know I must continue with your strength on this path without you. The little ones I know, they have said to me Love will go to infinity and beyond. They are so right my love! Goodbye rest in power my love always….
