My dearest Sam, my time with you was the best, my time without you will be lonely. All I look forward to is the time we will have in the future. Hope the angels learn real quick how to cook you pasta.You will always be in my heart, every day that passes will only bring me closer to you, heart and soul. You were my best friend, my soulmate, and my partner. In my heart we will always be together. Some day you will see that too. Take care sweetie, remember I'll always be there for you.ETERNAL LOVE GLORIA
