Dearest Mom

Our Faith in you and God will sustain us. Our total love for you is everlasting.
We will be at your side with our love for a wonderful Mom.

We have forever
Darling, I love you...three words that say so much!
The feelings I have in my heart for you, are so hard to put into words, but I will try...It is more than just I love you, so much more than physical love, but wanting your body and your caresses plays a real part in our relationship... It is a regard for you, a tenderness, that makes me want to guard your sleep, care for you when you are sick, or just hold your hand. It is the willingness to get up out of bed in the middle of the night to get you a drink of water, sharing things together-- I've never shared with anyone else EVER, dressing up for you and being proud of who I am for I have worth in your love. It is every kindness I'll ever want to show you and oh so much more that I haven't figured out how to say. But we have forever to discover all of them.
Your loving wife
