Til Death Do Us Part
When life seems a blur, And I can’t quite believe That I’m living without you And you were taken away from me I sit back and think of the memories we shared All the laughs that you gave me and all the times that you cared Til death do us part, that’s true in our case I miss you so much, your voice and your face Time is a healer; I can’t say that it’s true But life does go on (Which means without You) When it all gets too much And I wish you were here I feel thankful that I met you, And I hold you close, my dear. Til Death Do Us Part
Loving Lester
Husband, No one and nothing could have ever prepared me to lose my best friend and love of my life. The days and nights seem unbearably long and empty without you by my side. I miss the warmth from your tender touch. Uncontrollable emotions and tears overcome me without warning as I remanence over our memories. Oh, how I wish your laughter would fill our home to paint a smile across my face once more. May God’s strength sustain me throughout my efforts to cover our children and grandchildren with the unconditional love that you have shown us all. Save a place in Heaven until I join you, my dearest love. My heart will forever be yours!
