Jeff,

I cannot imagine the pain of losing a partner. I have lost family members, of both older and younger generations, but the thought of losing my wife is beyond comprehension to me.

Below, the words of a song we both love and that I want played if I go before her.

EVERYTHING POSSIBLE
Fred Small,

We've cleared off the table,leftovers saved
Washed the dishes and put them away
I've told you a story,tucked you in tigh
At the end of your knockabout day
When the moon sets a sail to carry you to sleep
Over the midight sea
I will sing you a song no one sang to me
May it keep you good company

You can be anybody you want to be
You can love whomever you will
You can travel any country that your heart eads
And Am know that I will love you still
You can live by yourself, you can gather friends around
You can choose one special one
But the only measure of your words and your deeds
Will be the love you leave behind when you're done

There are girls who grow up strong and bold
There are boys quiet and kind
Some race on ahead, some follow behind
Some go in their own way and time
Some women love women, some men love men
Some raise children, some never do
You can dream all the days, never reaching the end
Of everything possible for you

Don't be rattled by names, by taunts, by games
But seek out spirits true
If you give your friends the best part of yourself
They will give the same back to you

You can be anybody you want to be
You can love whomever you will
You can travel any country that your heart eads
And Am know that I will love you still
You can live by yourself, you can gather friends around
You can choose one special one
But the only measure of your words and your deeds
Will be the love you leave behind when you're done


I hope she had a life that was full and happy and am sure she left a lot of love behind her.

love to you and your family in this, the worst of times
