Poem from wife:

My dearest Husband,

I can't believe that you slipped away from me, although I love you deeply. I know that God loves you best. I Thank God for the journey HE gave US together, friends, partners, caregiver, and a beautiful union for 16 years to each other.

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be, so HE put HIS arms around you and whispered "come with me" with careful eyes I watched you, alone with my mother Bernice and sister Christine, saw you pass away. Although I loved you dearly; I couldn't make you stay., for this I will remember.

The rest of my life is through, the finest thing I've ever done, is simply loving you and being your wife.

From Husband Lawrence Jones

Remember Me

Remember me with smiles not tears, for all the joy through all the years, recall the closeness that was ours. A love as 'sweet' as fragrant flowers. Don't dwell on thoughts that cause you pain. We'll see each

other once again. I am at peace.... try to believe, it was my....i had to leave but, "what a view" I have from here. I see your face, I feel you near, I follow you throughout the day, you're not alone along the way. And may God guide you each and every day, stay strong!!

Your Husband, Lawrence Jones
