IN REMEMBRANCE OF OUR ANNIVERSARY
MR. JEFFREY LAMAR WADE October 9, 2015 R.I.P.
Our marriage has been a commitment of two people who were loyal to each other.
It has been a relationship where we listened, compro- mised and respected each other. It has been a union in which we truly believed in love that brought us to- gether. It has been pa- tience, honesty, thoughtfulness, under- standing and triumph over every adversity we faced to- gether.
It has been a partnership of two unique people who brought out the very best in each other and who knew that even though we were wonderful as individuals... we were even better to- gether.
And now that this earthly marriage is dissolved by the Father who knows best, I shall quote Elizabeth Bar- rett Browning, “... I love thee with the breath, smile, tears of all my life!... And if God chooses, I shall but love thee better after death.”
With gratitude to God for all the years given to us. Brenda.
