POEMS:

MY Husband

My sweet loving husband, I miss you dearly. We were together for twenty-five years, although we had our ups and downs, but through it all we made it.

Your wife, Rachel

TO MY PRECIOUS FATHER

Daddy, if I could write a story, it would be the greatest one ever told. You made me, nurtured me, taught me, and most of all loved me. No number of words can describe the loss I feel saying goodbye to you. I wish that I could have had more time with you to see you smile, laugh, and even fuss but God said different, He offered you wings and then you flew. Daddy, you never said you were leaving, you were gone before I even knew it and I don't know why. However, I know you wouldn't want me to cry for you, you'd tell me to be strong and live my life. Daddy, I want you to know you were too precious to be forgotten and too priceless to ever be replaced. There's now a hole in my heart that only you can fill, you will forever live in my heart, my mind, and my thoughts. I'll continue to cherish all of our memories and the times we shared until we meet each other again...

Love your baby girl charlisa (char-lah)
