For my love, my husband, George.
I love you more now, than ever. You are thought of in each second of the day.
Till we are together again,
Laurie

"Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work, or watch, or weep this night, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, Lord Christ; give rest to the weary, bless the dying, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted, shield the joyous; and all for your love's sake. Amen."

MISS YOU, MISS YOU, MISS YOU! Everything I do Echoes with the laughter And the voice of You. You’re on every corner, Every turn and twist, Every old familiar spot Whispers how you’re missed. MISS YOU, MISS YOU, MISS YOU! Everywhere I go There are poignant memories Dancing in a row. Silhouette and shadow Of your form and face, Substance and reality Everywhere displace. OH, I MISS YOU, MISS YOU! God! I miss you! There’s a strange, sad silence ‘Mid the busy whirl, Just as tho’ the ordinary Daily things I do Wait with me, expectant For a word from You. MISS YOU, MISS YOU, MISS YOU! Nothing now seems true Only that ‘twas heaven Just to be with You. By: DAVID CORY
