    My Darling Tony,

    It's eight months today that you left this earthly life, and me. The hardest thing I ever have had to do was to say 'goodbye' to you. Life without you is so lonely and hopeless. I miss you every minute of every day. Thank you, my darling, for such a beautiful marriage and all the unconditional love you always showered on me. I have so many happy memories of us together. They are all that I have now. I miss you always and will love you for eternity. Until we meet again, I will always be your 'little Brown girl'.

    Always loving and missing you,

    Your Gayle
