Experiencing this sudden death,
I am sure, is taking away your breath.

Losing someone so dear,
I hope, is the only painful event this year.

But the precious memories will help you heal
The pain you feel.

She was one of a kind
And will remain on your mind.

Be strong for each other
While coping with the loss of your dear wife, sister, and mother.

Glad in 1999,
She witnessed the wedding of mine.

I wish you all the strength during this difficult time that you mourn,
Until your heart is no longer torn.
