Written by a friend I’ve known since 6th grade.
Robert and Renee married and took a vow that what God had tied together man must not separate.
They took that promise seriously which is one of the things that made their marriage so great.
They thought of separating never entered their mind.
A love like theirs you could hardly ever find.
The respect they had for each other was easy to see,
Which was always present wherever they might be.
Laughter, another ingredient that made their marriage such a success,
Always finding a way to make each other smile settling for nothing less.
There was always a twinkle in each others eyes,
Displaying an everlasting love they could not disguise.
But the most important aspect of this marriage that will live on forever and never end,
Is that they were truly in love and each other’s Best Friend.
Renee, the love of Roberts life,
An extraordinary woman who became his wife.
An Angel sent from Heaven above,
Robert’s Soulmate and his forever True Love.
God has chosen to bring her home,
But Robert will never be alone.
He has so many memories they made together,
That he can cherish and will remember forever.
There will come a day in Heaven when they are in each other’s arms once again,
Completing God’s plan of how this Love Story will eventually end.
