My wife saved a newspaper obituary from January 1, 2005 of which she brought it out this evening and read it to me. My wife is a 6 year survivor of breast cancer Sept 7. The obituary is from Glendle Lee Faulkinbury to his wife Judith Marie Duncan Faulkinbury.
Such beautiful sentiments and act of love such as this cannot be left un-noticed. I love the way he coyly uses his words in it also. Thank you Mr. Faulkinbury for putting into words my sentiments for Kiki. The title to my poem would be, "The Brown Haired Beauty".
May God grant mercy to the soul of His handmaiden Judith Marie. Rest in peace.
The Red Haired Beauty
