In Loving Memory of a Very Special Husband

When God was making husbands as far as I can see, He made a special soulmate

especially for me, he made a perfect gentleman, compassionate and kind, With more

love and affection than you could ever wish to find, He gave my darling husband a

heart of solid gold, He gave me wonderful memories only my heart can hold, He was

someone I could talk to that no one can replace, He was someone I could laugh with

till tears ran down my face, Next time we meet will be at heavens door, When I see

you standing there I won’t cry anymore, I will put my arms around you and kiss your

smiling face, Then the pieces of my broken heart will fall back into place.

Miss you so much,

Shevetta
