I was already in love with Lynnette when you invited me to come to your house and have dinner. That was also the first time I met the whole family. The funniest part was when you served me dinner but since there were so many people there you didn’t have any silverware left for me to use.
Things just aren’t the same without the two of you.
Peace to you, Mom.
