"I think back 48 years ago when I was just a young lady not understanding what love really was ; yet I knew you and me were to be together. My dad knew this, so it had to be true. Had God interceded and I just wasn't equipped with the knowledge of knowing just how God worked. I do know that we are together because it was Gods plan. When I think about love, I see you Jeff When I think about friendship, I see you. When I'm excited and can't wait to tell someone, I see you. When I am hurt, or sad or in pain, I see you. When I look at you I see love, care, understanding, compassion, respect, a heart of gold that would give and do anything for us, a man who loves God as much as I do. When I look at my best friend, I see you Jeff. When I was ready God knew that I would need someone to lead me, to hold me, to make me laugh, to love me unconditionally as He does, He saw you You always put me first, you are my heartbeat, my smile, and the love of my life. I wouldn't change a second of our life together, for it will strengthen me for when we meet at the river when God calls me home. My heart will be with you as you take this journey to meet our Lord and Savior. Earthly memories of you Jeff here on earth I will cherish with knowing I shall see you again. I love you the most , you can’t win this argument just agree. I am so honored to be your best friend and wife. No goodbyes just see you in Heaven. I love you and I am so honored God chose You to be my husband and me to be your wife."
