A Letter From Heaven
When tomorrow starts without me
And I’m not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn’t cry
The way you did today;
While thinking of the many things
We didn’t get to say.
I know how much you love me
As much as I love you;
And each time that you think of me,
I know you’ll miss me too.
When tomorrow starts without me,
Don’t think we’re far apart
For every time you think of me,
I’m right here in your heart.
Jen was not only my dear girl friend, she was a true sister in heart, spirit, and mind. My life was so blessed to have shared it with her. Our hearts send love, prayers and compassion go out to Brian and all of their family.
Dear Brian, I know Jen was the love of your life. You were a devoted husband every step of her way. She lived with challenges more than one person should bear and you were always there to love and support her. She was a loving wife only wanting the best for you. Your mutual respect for one another was a blessing. Jen had a special bond with your fur babies and I know you are trying to fill her shoes for them. May God wrap you in his arms and comfort you with a peace knowing Jen is watching over you and always in your heart! Rest In Peace sweet Jen!
I will see you again at the next Celine Concert. RIP my friend!
Brian,
I have had the honor of witnessing your love and devotion for Jen. You were so loving and attentive as you cared for Jen.
May you find comfort in knowing Jen is looking down from heaven and she knows what a loving and devoted husband you were. You were both so very lucky to have found each other.
Hey Brian,
As I shared with you once, I was never so impressed with anyone, as I was with the both of you when I saw you together, and when I saw your dedication to her, and hers to you. Jen was such a special person, but when I saw the both of you together, it was priceless. I honestly have to say that she was one of the sweetest people that I’ve ever known. You were such a wonderful couple together and you still are. I am so blessed to have had both of you as such very good friends. And your friendship Brian, means everything to me.
I know Jen will never be far from you, and she will never be far from all of us, me as well.. She will never be forgotten.
