"When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. Some of you say, "Joy is greater than sorrow," and others say, "Nay, sorrow is the greater." But I say unto you, they are inseparable." K. Gibran

Aunt Jacqui, I have so many memories of you as a shy, observant child and later, as a beautiful wife and mother. I will remember the joy in your voice when you spoke of Nonc Steve and Maurice. I will always remember our trip to Mexico. Most of all, I will remember your beautiful smile. It will sustain me until we meet again. Love, Niece Shirley

To my dear sweet wife: My dear sweet babe, how will I go on without you by my side? I can't begin to explain the many ways you will be missed. As I mourn I think of the many things I took for granted but now I truly feel how much I had with you. I can simply say that I had A-lot. I will do my best to keep on by remembering all of the good times, the times you made me smile, the times I made you smile and all the times we laughed together. I will do my best to keep up with the grand kids as you did so well, I know I can't compete when it comes to the way you loved the grand kids and simply kids in general, but I will do my best. My sweet dear babe, I could write forever but I guess it's best I just simply say thanks for the years, thanks for my life with you, thanks for all the sacrifices and just simply Thanks.
