JAMES CARL SHEPPARD September 25, 1998 For you - my Beloved Gentle Giant ... Happy 25th wedding anniversary, You gave life to my soul, A smile from you lightened up my heart and brightened all my days, And I love you, I love you, I love you, in oh so many, many ways, I asked Reverend Lucas to come to the hospital and baptize you. Something I knew you had wanted to do all your life, but did not feel you were worthy of, And just before you passed, you opened your eyes and fixed directly on me, And I knew at that moment that you were at peace and you had given me the strength to let you go. A broken heart does not heal, it remains forever shattered. Forever your wife, Pat.
