With precious memories of my husband,

John A. Lestyk,

who was born into Eternal Life 23 years ago today.

My dear Mouse,

Memories of you, after all these years,

So sweet and true; they still bring tears.

That special smile, your hazel eyes,

The soft advice, so warm and wise.

You were a man beyond compare,

We shared a love - so real, so rare.

Throughout our years, our life was right,

So much in love; we held on tight.

But then one day, God called you Home,

He kept me here to live alone.

I struggled through so many years,

My heart so full of grief and tears.

Then God smiled down, and in His Love,

Sent special blessings from Above.

He gave a gentle man to me,

And in my heart, I know you’re pleased.

So often, we remember you,

And speak of things you used to do.

The love we shared lives on in me,

And I know it will always be.

A place where I can go to find,

Memories of the sweetest kind.

So thank you, Mouse, for our great life.

I was so blessed to be your wife.

I’ll love you forever,

Your Mouse
