We began our journey in life together on April 7th, 1979. He is my best friend, my love, soul mate, my lover, my wonderful companion of this life's journey together. We loved, we laughed, we cried, we worked, partied and traveled together. We saw our children marry and welcomed 9 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren to accompany us on the journey. This morning he told his granddaughters he loved them and tonight we ended this journey together March 12, at 12:37 AM when he told me he "wanted to go over".
Raise a glass to the love of my life as he would want, and bid him safe passage as he goes forward to new adventures. I love you Lee and cannot imagine life without you.
Love to you always,
Jayne
