My wife was everything to me here on this earth. We often wondered how we came to be together, with me being a good ol' boy and you from the city. But, I would tell you it was God who'd joined us because we were meant to grow old together. He knew we would be the perfect soul mates. The words in our marriage vows ring so true in times like these.

Peggy, I know you are not present in physical form here on earth, but I do believe you still know what you meant to me and how I feel inside. I still feel your presence, and forever will. I love you so much and will be with you one day in the house of our Lord and Savior. I know you feel no pain, and this gives me peace. We stood stronger together and honored our marriage vows as God intended.

I will miss you while I am here on earth, but I know you will always be present in my heart and thoughts. I feel your presence with me even now, and we will one day walk hand-in-hand again.

I love you, Peggy. Your family loves you, too. As they would say, "Pegleg, we love you and we'll see you again soon!" Rejoice! God has taken away your pain and suffering. And, we'll one day be reunited in Heaven.

All My Love,

'Robear'
