    My Dear Larry, March 13, 2009; it has now been a year since we said ‘see ya’. Time does not heal, nor make the memories fade. Attended Ken Clack’s memorial services today, how ironic. As I lit the nightly candle for you I realized I can no longer say “at this time, last year, you were still with us, alive, in our home together, doing such and such… A new year where the day March 14, 2010 is not a day I can say you were still with me”. It feels another layer of skin has been peeled from me as this new year without you bears down. I miss you so, Larry. Funny, I woke up & looked over at your side of the bed & you were not there. Listened for the bathroom, did he leave for work? Oh! He’s home sick, that’s right, or out getting breakfast? Took a while to dawn on me your were not ‘here’ in body. Just watched a ‘Monk’ episode & he is yelling at his assistant for her driving, and she screams ‘you want to drive’? Reminded me when I would complain about your driving & you would ‘ask’, bluntly,”you want to drive?”. You always said when you flew helicopters you always had to be on the look out for a safe place to light down in an emergency, and that is how you drive,defensively. So many funny/happy memories. Never a negative. So how am I expected to ‘get over’ you when we are ‘the’ match of a lifetime.
    I miss you every second, sweet darling
    I will love you always. I will always be your bride, your wife, you my husband.
    All my love, darling.
    Deon

    Larry, My Precious Husband. Today is the day your life was taken. I miss you so. Russett and I shared a cherry pie to honor the most honorable man that will ever grace this earth. We shared a half & half/cherry/apple pie on your birthday 10 days ago, March 3. Larry, with every breath and blink of my eyes you are with me. Not a thought is ‘thunk’ without thinking of you. My love for you is eternal. Forever, Larry, you are my breath, my love.
    All My Love to You, my darling!
    Yours always, Deon

    Larry, My Precious Husband. Today is the day your life was taken. I miss you so. Russett and I shared a half and half cherry/apple pie to honor the most honorable person to ever grace this earth. Last week we celebrated your birthday with a cherry pie. Too bad they did not make 1/2 & 1/2 pies when you were here as you liked one & I preferred the other. I could not decide between making you a carrot cake or 2 layered chocolate/chocolate cake, but decided on your favorite. You are in my thoughts with every breath I take and blink of my eyes. You are in every thought that is ‘thunk’. My love for you is eternal. Darling, I miss You!! Your beautiful sparkling eyes that literally glistened with happiness and love.
    Forever My Love
    Always Yours, Deon
