Dedicated To My Loving Husband Mike,
Dear Mike, You left me so suddenly, You never said "Good-bye", You were gone before I knew it, And only God
knows why. A million times I've needed you, A million times I've cried, If love alone could have kept you here, You never would have died. In life I loved you dearly, In death I love you still, In my heart you hold a special place, No one on earth can ever fill. It broke my heart to lose you, But you did not go alone, A part of me went with you, When God called you home. Mike, Life will never be the same without you. This isn't how it's supposed be! Not a day goes by that I don't wish you had taken me with you. Time will never heal my broken heart. I love you & miss you more and more every day. YOU are STILL the ONE, Until we meet again My King.... All my love FOREVER, Your Queen, Your "Babe", Your Wife, Gina

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

THIS IS TO THANK EACH & EVERY ONE OF YOU THAT LEAVE YOUR BEAUTIFUL LOVING NOTES & FLOWERS FOR MIKE & I! WE LOVE & APPRECIATE EACH & EVERY ONE OF YOU AND WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT YOUR THOUGHTFULNESS HAS DEEPLY TOUCHED MY LIFE! FROM THE BOTTOM OF OUR HEARTS AND SOULS WE THANK YOU!

**Thanking YOU, an Angel in Disguise**

Without your support, where would I be? Lost and miserable, that's how I see me. You've given me the courage to keep living life, The strength and the will to handle the strife. In my heart and soul, If you were not there, Everything in life would be much harder to bear! The footprints of your loving ways, Are impressed upon my soul every passing day. Compassion and your special care, Is a gift from Heaven up there. Yes YOU are a gift to many lives, You are a sweet Angel in disguise! Thank You For EVERYTHING.....

Sincerely,
Gina, Mikes Wife
