We had an exceptional kind of marriage.
One that does not happen everyday.
Being your wife was my extreme privilege!
You brought immense joy my way!

Our marriage was not perfect by any means.
It was wonderful because it was as comfortable
As wearing a frayed and faded pair of jeans!
The give and take and love and care was mutual.

We worked very hard for over twenty- four years.
Our marriage was blessed with four sons and tons of fun.
In spite of our troubles, differences, and fears
We managed to be in love with each morning's rising sun.
