I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude for the love and support you have shown me throughout the time we have known each other. From the very beginning, you welcomed me into your family with open arms and I never felt like I was just one of your kid's spouse – I felt like family!
Your impact on my life extends far beyond the boundaries of our relationship. You blessed my marriage and celebrated our happiness with genuine joy. You have been one of our biggest cheerleaders, even asking us to get a plaque that said “Yani and Bobbie, married forever till He comes and takes them.” The way you have shown your pride in us has touched my heart in ways I cannot fully describe.
Ingrained in my brain is the way you would playfully call my name, “Yaaaaaaaaaaaaani” and your expert tips on handling Bobbie Jo – Priceless! <wink>
Unfortunately, I can’t help but feel bit of sadness that we didn’t meet earlier and get to know each other in different phases of your life. I’ve always heard so may great stories about your larger-than-life personality, and those stories seem to be endless as our family gathers to remember you. I find myself wishing I had the opportunity to witness them firsthand, but I’m thankful for the time we had together.
As I reflect on the time we have spent together, I am overcome with profound sense of sadness. Not because you are gone, because I know you are with the Lord, but because I'll miss the way you made us all laugh. Your presence in my life will never be forgotten. Your personality, love and kindness have left an indelible mark on my heart, and for that, I will forever be grateful.
With a heavy heart, I say goodbye for now. Thank you for everything, Janie. Your memory will always hold a special place in my heart.
