I Thought Of You I thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and the day befor that too. I think of you in silence, I often say your name, But all I have is memories and your picture in a frame. Your memory is my keepsake, with which I'll never part. God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart. I shed tears for what might have been, a million times I've cried. If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died. In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still, In my heart you hold a place no one could ever fill. It broke my heart to lose you, but you didn't go alone For part of me went with you, the day God took you home. ~Arthur unknown~

You never said I'm leaving You never said goodbye You were gone before I knew it, And only God knew why A million times I needed you, A million times I cried If Love alone could have saved you, You never would have died In Life I loved you dearly In death I love you still In my heart you hold a place, That no one could ever fill It broke my heart to lose you, But you didn't go alone For part of me went with you, The day God took you home.

Dad, Thank You." Thank you for the laughter, For the good times that we share, Thanks for always listening, For trying to be fair. Thank you for your comfort, When things are going bad, Thank you for the shoulder, To cry on when I'm sad. This poem is a reminder that All my life through, I'll be thanking Heaven For a Special Dad like you."

Tenny was my first love and my first husband. We were married on July 5, 1966. I met him while visiting family members in Newport News Va He lived next door where i was staying. He was a very handsome young man and I was 16. We took walks together that week and i was able to get to know him better. I left that Sunday with my parents and I told my Mom on the way home he was the man that i would marry. this was July 1963 I didn't hear from him for two and a half years. On christmas eve in 1965 He called and we talked for the next 6 month's. Easter, He called me and ask me if i would marry him and my answer was yes. It was on a Friday July1, 66 when he came in. We went on Saturday for blood test and had to wait 3 days to get married. We were married in a church in Tazewell VA. Our love lasted 26 years until he died, I thought my life was over. I prayed to die for the first year. Little did I know that God had other plans for my life. I have had the privilege of having two men love me & for me to love them in my lifetime I have been very blessed to have known them both
