Mom, I’m sorry you had to leave us. I hope you are in a better place now and you will get to see my Grandma and Grandpa again. If you do, please tell them I love them and still miss them too. Me and Dad miss you very much already and we will always love you. I cannot thank you enough for all you have done for me in my life and all the trouble you have gotten me out of. I will think about you everyday. Love always, Chris.

Pam, it’s four weeks today that you left this world and went to Heaven. You fought a long fight and suffered greatly. I hope you are at peace and are happy. I miss you enormously every day and love you very much. I talk to your picture every night. I will always love you and only you until we are reunited in Heaven. All my love, always my darling. Your Loving husband Dante.

My dearest Pam. It is now 3 months since you left this world. I just don’t understand how things continue to happen like nothing is changed. I guess that is for the people who are not missing a loved one. Every day I do the same things I did before but I’m no longer have you to care for. I hope what they say is true. You are not suffering any more and things are the way you were when you were healthy. I did not have to buy a Christmas card but I’m thinking of putting s Valentines Day card on your grave., after all that is our special day. Please know that I will always love you and no one will take your place. All my love always my sweetheart. Keep a spot warm and waiting for me. All my love. Your loving husband Dante.

My Beloved Pam. It is now four months since you left this world to be with Christ in Heaven. Every day I think of the things we did together and realize we will never do them again. We have an anniversary coming up in 8 days. I have our Valentine lighted heart in the window just like I had for the last few years and I think I will leave it there even after the 14th.In memory of you. The world continues to exist and things still happen and I guess it will be that way until I join you in Heaven and then the world will go on without us. I will see you in Heaven some day. I will always love you Forever Your loving husband. Dante.

My Beloved Pam. Today is our special day. It is our 38th Anniversary/Valentines Day. The first one where we are not together. We’ve had some nasty weather so I didn’t put anything on your grave to mark our special day. When spring comes and the grass grows I’ll do something. I love you and miss you very much. Happy Anniversary and Valentines day my love.
Your loving husband Dante.

My beloved Pam. Today is the 5th month since you went to your new home in Heaven. I hope you are happy being with the Lord and all your relatives and friends who were waiting for you. A day does not go by where I don’t think of you and all we did together. The years I took care of you were difficult for you and I tried my best to give you the best care. Although it was a lot of work I enjoyed caring for you. Now I have nothing to do. I have not made any changes to our house. Everything is the same as you left it. I anticipate in time that I may have to change things. I know that one day we will be together again. Love you and miss you with all my heart.
Your loving husband. Dante

My dearly beloved Pam. It is six months today that you left us to be with The Lord in Heaven, I miss every day and every moment without you. I realize that the last few years of your life were unpleasant for you’ Know in your heart that I did everything possible to take care of you and make you comfortable. But now you are without the pain you suffered and free of all the disabilities that had a grip on you. In the months to come, I am going to try to eliminate some of our collection of possessions. It will give me something to do. Hopefully my hip surgery will give me back my mobility. I love you and miss you with all my heart and know that someday we will be together again. All My Love, Always..
Your loving husband Dante

Merry Christmas to my beautiful wife on your second Christmas in Heaven. I miss you and think about every day. I want you to know that no one will ever take your place in my heart or in our home. I still wear the wedding band you bought for me and I still get complimented on your design.. I plan to be buried with it. Good night my love. I will love you always.

Happy Valentines Anniversary. I miss the yearly hunt for the right cards which were always available at Hallmarks at a premium price for made in China cards. You never wanted me to buy you presents but I always did. I always made a special meal and most times bought you candy. I wish we could have had at least 20 more years together. Selfish I guess. I hope you are happy in Heaven and look forward to the day I join you. Good night my love. I will love you always.

Happy Mother’s Day mom! It hasn’t been that long, but it seems like you have been gone for 10 years. I miss you very much. I miss calling you on the phone. You always said something to make me laugh or get me frustrated because, sometimes, you had no idea what you were talking about. (lol) I miss that much. What I do not miss is seeing you in pain and not being well. When I was a kid, you did so much that you could not sit down for 5 minutes. You always had to be doing something. You used to work in the yard for hours on end. Then we would eat dinner, and you would be back out there again at night watering the yard you worked all day on. It broke my heart to see you sitting there in the chair, not being able to do the things you loved to do. I guess that is why I did not visit you as much as I should have. I am sorry for that. After I came to see you, at home or at Lexington, I would pull the car over on the way home and cry. I hope you are at peace now, having fun and no pain. I am kinda glad you are not here now to see what is going on. The world is going crazy! Things are also better here at home. Otherwise, things are much better. I love you very much and I hope you are in heaven celebrating Mother’s Day with grandma. Tell her I love her and miss her too. Also, if you see grandpa, tell him I miss him and love him too. Also tell him I said “sqiueeze the arms” so he can say “damn kid”! (lol) I hope we can all be back together someday when my time comes. Me and dad both love and miss you much. Chris

Happy Birthday my love. This is your second birthday in Heaven. I hope they throw a party for you. I am so glad I gave you that party for your 70th birthday. I can’t believe it’s been that long ago.
The world is in a sad mess with the virus and the idiot president we have. Hopefully he will be gone soon. I miss all the things we did and I miss taking care of you. You gave my life purpose.
I love you and miss you dearly.
Happy Birthday my love.
Love, your husband Dante

My Dearest Pam
It is two years today that God sent his angels down to take you to heaven. Although I expected it, I didn’t thing it would be that soon. I cared for you all the years you were sick and even cared for you when you were in Lexington. My whole life was taking care of you. You were my reason for existing. God sent me to you when he did so I could care for you. I provided all the things you could need to be comfortable. You were my reason for living. I thing of you every day and miss you every day. I know some day we will be together again. No other person has taken your place and no one ever will. I hope you approved of the final arrangements I had for you. I wanted to show my love and that was the last time I would be able to do it.
I will always love you.
Your loving husband

My Dearest Pam:
This is your third Christmas with The Lord in Heaven. I miss you terribly and wish you were home with me. I hope you are happy and have met up with all your friends and family. I think of you every day and talk to your picture every night. It’s not fair that you were taken from me but I know it was your time.
I’m taking care of myself and doing all I can to avoid getting sick with the virus.
Please know that I will always love you and will never let anyone in our home to take your place.
Merry Christmas my love
Your Loving husband Dante.

My dearest Pam: It is 40 years ago today that we became husband and wife. We were fortunate to have had 37 of those years together. It seems just like yesterday we said I DO and started our life together. A lot of challenges came our way that first year but we were able to survive. Having our mothers die on the same day is something people still can’t believe. We took everything in stride and I can never remember a single time that we ever argued. We were lucky. I still miss you every day and I talk to you every night. Happy Anniversary and Valentines day.
All my love, always.
Your husband Dante
