My sweet wife, I already miss you beyond words. Everything looks and feels different. At moments the distractions around me cause me to briefly forget that you are gone, but when I remember it hurts all over again. I will forever love you.
Your loving husband.

There are no words to express my love for you, my beautiful sister. I will always remember you. I will think of you everyday for the rest of my life. I know you are watching over all of us from the heavens. You would be amazed at the outpouring of love from so many people who knew you and loved you. Until we meet again, rest in peace.
