Sitting here thinking back to a time when we were young brings a smile to my face. We were always getting in trouble, but none too bad. We shared everything together. Your band. My writing career. They belonged to both of us.
We met when I was 18 and you were 23. 3 years later we were married. You were excited to start a family, so we did. 5 kids. The first three: Jo, Gwen, and Krista, all girls. Our fourth was a boy, Skylar. You were so excited about having a boy. I'll never forget how you told everyone you saw whether you knew them or not, that we were having a boy. Our fifth was a boy too, Parker.
You always called them "our babies". We helped them through everything. Adolescence, the teenage years, and now adulthood. I'll always remember how excited you were when we became grandparents. Our grand kids. You spoiled them. All 14 of them. Jo gave us 3. Gwen, 2. Krista, 3. Skylar, 5. And Parker, 1. You cherished our family and every moment we had together.
You cherished me, so much as well. I'll always love you for that. I'll miss you. Because your gone now at 85 years old. Being buried today. I'm so glad our kids turned out like you did, strong. I need their comfort ona day like this. The day you, my husband will leave me until I join you where you are. I love you Matt. ALWAYS AND FOREVER
