Ed
Our dream to live happily ever after has been cut short and I was not ready to lose you. I'm still waiting for you to come home to me and the dogs you loved so much. We didn't prepare ourselves for your departure; we still had so many things to do and places to go. Love you forever and I have my memories to cherish until I die.
Love,
Jean
