"To My David

If you should go before me part of my heart will die with you and I will have an empty feeling forever. Life will go on with all the memories (good and bad) that we have shared over all the years and they will linger with me and comfort me. Know that I love you dearly and will treasure you forever.

Your wife Dora"
