    First I wanna thank God for giving me such a wonderful true friend and you knew how much I’d needed one and you knew just who to send. He was always there with willing helping hands, a shoulder I/you can lean upon and a heart that I cherished and understands. What a good and generous man you was, losing my love was devastating and know words can ever really relieve that pain and no one can fill the hole created by your loss, that Friday I left Virginia to move to San Antonio TX, I received a call that you grew your wings and left to go be with your loved ones in heaven, but until I see your beautiful smile again and them lovely dimples that always made me smile, love you always and forever and you will truly be missed my love. Love always Kendra
