It was the hardest thing I have done in my life. We had a wonderful life together with 3 wonderful girls, 4 grandchildren , 5 great grandchildren and 6 great great grandchildren. God has blesses me in so many ways. The list is to long to even start. We will be celebrating your like in Sept. God has wonderful plans for you and I know you will be there waiting for me when it’s time. Rest in piece my love see you one day. xoxo xoxo
