My letter to my love:
I miss you every second of every day, you left us way too soon. Joe is a strong young man and we are so saddened that you will not be there for his high school graduation, college years and for his wedding and babies.
You would have been a wonderful Grandpa full of love for your family. I know that you are out of pain and playing cards with your grandparents, dad, my mom and you get to hold Samantha again.
That is what is keeping me going. Oh, my wonderful husband and best friend, I love you so, so much.
Your wife and best friend, Mary
