Well today Oct. 6 2013 is our 7th. anniversary. Seven years ago on this date you and I met and fell in love. Two people in there 60s starting over again in life. It was a wonderful time in my life when we met, and I thank you.
I will see you again, and we can start over again once more.
I will never forget you...
Your Loving John

To our second family, our thoughts and prayers are with you all. We have kept the message Karen wrote with Leo's card and feel the message is the same "we knew the strength and depth of Karen's love. She showered her family (and close friends) with it. Our love for Karen will never die!"
