Poem From Wife:
When I simply say, Miss Him, I really mean it I miss his smile. I miss his voice. I miss his laugh. I miss him next to me. I miss his jokes. I miss him holding my hands. I miss him teasing me. I miss him so much. I miss the way you call my name.. Like no other. That I can Feel my heart breaking, But I’m not a widow I’M A WIFE TO A HUSBAND with wings. All I want is for him in Heaven. How much I miss him The Best Decision that I’ve ever made in my life was “TO MARRY HIM” Even death can’t stop me from loving Him
THE MAN THE FATHER To the Man who understood what I needed to survive To you being the Father in what a Man provides To the Man who showed me in life, about everything To the guidance of the love, a Father brings The role you took in our Family life Makes you forever, THE MAN, THE FATHER IN MY EYESIGHT! Love your Son, DeKetrick
