The love of my life ----Hans---- has passed away Saturday night.

The first day of Spring.

It hurts to let him go.

Tom, our son, has to miss his father.

Just at an age they start talking as adults with each other.

Heartbreaking.

I know he is in a better place now.

A place without pain, no sorrow,

Only love.
Thursday March 25, 2010 is his last day in this world.

I know that one day we will meet again.

Bye my love........................................

    Joanna, How are you doing? Just though I'd pop in to find out how you are bearing up. The loneliest times are after the funeral when all the family have left and life slots into routine again!
    Still thinking of you and Tom....You are still thought about often with love! Be strong!!!!!!!
