My Sunshine gone home. Its been an honor sharing this beautiful journey of life, with such an amazing Queen. Blessed by the Lord i was with my only Sunshine. So, see you later my love. Promise we’ll sing our song together again. -Theresa

I’ll walk, still same path, similar shoes each stride a precious jewel of thought each breath i take, I lose I’ll walk, still beaten path, over used I won’t forget, neglect or slight the wind reminiscent with blues But i’ll still walk pain and all, tempered fuse I’ll imagine you here, by my side holding my hand just as you do. We love you -Trell
