I knew the first time I met him that he was a very special man. He had a heart of gold and was very kind & giving. We were together for 19 years and I wish I had those 19 years to do all over again with him. Mollie & Tucker are safe here with me...until we see you again. Rest easy. I Love You with everything in my heart and then some.
