Dearest Cheryl,It's the day before Christmas 2015. I'm sitting here with you listening to our favorite Carpenters song.

This year is no different as we're together in spirit. I know you are with me, and I am with you.I love you so much Cheryl - I always have, I always will!!"Merry Christmas Darling - I've just one wish this Christmas Eve, I wish I were with you!"Brent
