Tribute of Love in fond remembrance :

I thought of you with love today
Looking back and thinking how you left us
Without a clue or a cry.
Your calling was so peaceful
Which is so hard to believe.
I think of you in silence too often
I think of your name every time
And call you and look around
Only to realize its all in my mind.

God has you in His keeping,
We have you in my heart,
This is for us to know that you are with all of us,
Day in and day out every minute
Days will pass and turn into years.
But I will remember you always with silent tears.

The pain of losing you was immeasurable,
But we know you are happy with Almighty God.
Those we love never really leave us
We may be apart, but you are always in our heart,
The memories we made together,
Will stay in our minds forever.

Spiritually by your side I stay with you forever,
Humans are mortal but love for them are immortal,
Today is a decade but feels like decades.

I wish you were with us physically,
But glad that we are connected spiritually.
I’m trying to count my blessings rather than mourning,
For God almighty says He will turn mourning into dancing
Those we love don’t go away, they walk beside us everyday,
Unseen, unheard but always near
Still loved, still missed and very dear.

In life we loved you dearly
In death we love you still
In our hearts you hold a place
No one could ever fill.
It broke our hearts to lose you,
But you did not go alone,
A part of us went with you too.

I’m grateful to you for unceasing support and guidance
You gave me to make me what I am today.
Thank you for being my husband, my partner,
My mentor and my best friend.
You are always remembered and the memories cherished
In our hearts each and every moment of our lives

With fond memories from
Jessie Rodrigues and family
