February 8, 2020 at 10:52 pmMrs.Elethia Douglas,I want you to know that my love for you will always be your safe house and my heart will always be your resting place.Baby you taught me so much that it hurts to know that school is out of session right now because God has called you home,but I want you to know that when my name is called to be united with you and the Lord I will pay full attention to what I have to finish learning from you.Elethia you taught me how to love and with that I will continue to love you while you is preparing a place in heaven for me.Sweetie you is going to be truly missed and nobody that walks this earth will ever be able to take your place,you are a beautiful person inside and out and if anybody says otherwise then they is only looking at their self.Your journey on earth is now over but your mission in heaven is now starting so the same way you ran your race here I know your race in heaven is going to be even better…I love you and until I’m called you’ll always be my heart beat…Always and forever and has you would say,I’m ending these words but never my love,your husband,Tony.
