Hey Sweetheart. Just want you to know how proud I am of our children. They are working hard to raise their families as well as we hoped they would. I too am beginning a new chapter. Nobody can ever replace you. However, I have a new partner that I hope will make me as happy as you did for so many years. Love you always.

As the days and weeks pass, its still hard knowing that you are not here physically that I can stop by and have our talks with each other. I am so happy and honored I had the opportunity of meeting you an angel here on earth. I will never forget the conversations that we had with each other. Even though you are not here in the physical sense you will forever be here spiritually. I know that you are looking down and watching over us and watching over our babies that are with you. I know that on Dereks and I special day 9.19.2015 you will be there walking along the side of us. I have two moms now one lookig down on me watching me and I have one here on earth. Love you forever always
