You left us my darling not long ago. God intended for
your suffering to end. He knows there would be many
hearts to mend. But we can never question God’s plan. For
it is for Him only to understand. Our Heavenly Father can
help us all soothe our broken hearts and put joy in our
souls. And I have the promise to be with you again, in
God’s wonderful presence; where joy never ends. I'll look
into your sparkling blue eyes, and once again we will walk
hand in hand. And we will praise our God for bringing us
back together in His Promised Land. Praise be to God.
Your Loving Wife Anita
