Chuckie
Thank you for being a wonderful husband, for being a warm caring dad and papa. For being the friend I could always depend on throughout all the good times and bad.
Thank you for showing so much understanding, respecting the way that I feel.
For doing your best, in your own special way to help make my dreams become real.
Thank you for special family times, for joy that I've known as your wife-
And most of all thank you with all my heart for being the love of my life.
My heart is broken in a thousand pieces and I can't find one piece to bring it back.
Love you forever
Bedore
