To my wonderful and loving husband (Jim) in heaven.
 Honey, I don't need a month of Sundays to say a prayer for you,
because any Day I close my eyes 
your smiling face comes through.
 The pain of losing you continues,
It hasn't healed at all.
Although the Days keep rolling,
The tears for you still fall. 
 I see the signs you leave me
To let let me know you're here,
But still I long to hold you
and always keep you near.
OH, how I miss you, how I miss you so.
If I'd known you was leaving
I would never have let you go.
 They say that time's a healer,
But what they didn't know 
That,just how much my heart was 
broken The Day you had to go.
 It seems there is no ending
to this pain I feel.
But one Day soon I'm hoping,  
My broken heart will heal.
 You meant more than life to me,
This pain will still remain.
As I go through life each Day,
Until we meet again.
 I wish that I could have you 
here with me again, 
and only then,If I see you again 
will I feel no more pain.
I miss you, I need you,
I want you and I love you.
I send you my love, 
Until we meet again.

      I love you, 
          Always and forever,

Honey,Happy Birthday!
all my Love to you with warm hugs and lots of kisses are being sent your way.
I wish I could be there with you to celebrate .
I love you and miss you so much.

Honey, a month ago today when God ease your pain and suffering.
God knows you didn't deserve what you went through
so God took you home and give you rest
and that's the last time I saw you. 
you were look so peaceful and free from pain.
Although, I love you and miss you terribly. 
I could not wish you back to suffer that again.
I wish you rest in peace.
you are not forgotten nor will ever be.
as long as life and memory last, I will remember you always,
I miss you now more than ever and my hearts ache.
As time goes by I miss you more.
Your happy smile,your handsome face, your loving gesture,
your gentle touch, your warm hugs and kisses, your caring words,
and just the way you are.
you are a wonderful person and a loving husband.
no one can fill your vacant place.
I will love you and miss you always.

Your loving wife,

Beth Picarella,
