Written by Rita Sanrocco: God gives us his greatest gift of all and that gift is love. Our love lasted 57 years and it never changed so I say to you love your spouses, time is so short. Leaving each other is so very hard but God's love will carry me through now and forever and one day we will meet again. I love you my Nicholas with all my heart and soul, forever and ever. You will never leave me ever, you will always be with me today, tomorrow and always. I love you, and thank you God for this great gift you've given to us. LOVE, Rita
