October 5th

Would have been our 56th anniversary
For my dear first wife Linda and I
Sadly passing away fourteen years ago
Still in my thoughts, I still cry

Every year when October rolls around
Reminded of what we both had shared
Five great children and a lifetime of love
The joys, the heartaches, the care

I'll never forget you, my very first love
Till my final last day on earth
Thank you my sweetest darling Linda
For a lifetime of joy and mirth

Russell Sivey Date: 10/5/2013 8:29:00 AM That is so very sweet Jack, I'm sorry for your loss of your first wife, I can tell you really loved her and lived happily with her during those years you were together! Even though it has been 14 years I know that it is still tough to be apart from her! I hope that today isn't filled with the sorrow of being apart from her but yet filled with the joy of the days you did have with her, the memories you shared together, remember with joy my friend! This is a tremendous poem, Great Work!! Login to Reply Jack Ellison Date: 10/5/2013 8:46:00 AM WOW! Your kind words are so much appreciated, my good friend, Russell. Thank you.
