To My Husband

You will be greatly missed. Your I love your and warm embraces will be missed. I don't know why this happened. It is hard for me to comprehend. You were my best friend. We prayed, disagreed, loved, and cared for each other for 22 years and now I am searching for every photo and every video. Your departure from this earth hurts. I don't want to do this life without you, but I know I don't have a choice. I am grateful to God that I was able to give and receive love from you. The life we built together was perfect, and I am proud to be your wife.

Thank you for loving me, protecting me, praying for me, encouraging me, fighting for me, and most of all thank you for committing yourself to us. There's no more pain baby rest easy now. I love you with my whole heart.

Your wife,

Peaches Lewis
