Time goes by so fast and to think your no longer here breaks my heart, but I know your in a better place. All that I have left is the memories of us the time we spent together, our wedding the fun times. We shared so much you showed me how to love. I still remember your words on our wedding day (you'll always be my one and only true love and wife Mrs. Diaz). Rest in peace Angel.

Your wife
