5 dozen roses for you

Happy Anniversary Jim, we would have been merried for 13 years. I remember our wedding like it was just the other day. We had gotten merried at the Little White Wedding Chaple on Harper at 4:00pm.

Jim,
Tomorrow will be a year since you had to go live with Jesus. A year sounds like a long time but to me it seems like it was yesterday. I hope you have met my mother, she would really like you! If you have, you can harrass her like you did me....she would like it. =-)
We all miss you and wish you were here but we also know that you are in a better place and in no time we will all be together again.
Love and miss you goofiness
See you soon! Kelly

Just want to write you a letter Jim, I am trying new things and meeting new people but I miss you and I will always remember how you would say to me each and every day (Did I tell you I love you today?) I haven't found anyone to say that to me. It always ends the same they just want to be friends. I thought that is what I wanted but I was wrong. May be that is all
