With Precious Memories of my husband, John A. Lestyk, who was born into Eternal Life 17 years ago today.

My Dear Mouse,

You have a place within my heart,

Where you will always stay.

The days and months and years go by,

Yet here you still remain.

This year marks 17 years passed,

How could it be that long?

I hold you deep within my heart,

That’s right where you belong.

The years flew by; we lived our lives,

With family, God, and friends.

We thought we’d live forever,

That life would never end.

Your illness hit us very hard,

We struggled through those days.

And then God called you to come Home,

And I lived in a daze.

My friends stood right beside me,

My family loved me well.

God’s spirit close to guide me.

He caught me when I fell.

And then God Spoke, and with His grace,

He opened wide His hands

And with a smile upon His face,

Gave me a second chance.

He is a kind and gentle man,

We share a special love.

Could this be part of God’s Great Plan;

Are you smiling from Above?

The Lord’s with me, and He’s with you.

A connection we still keep.

A love that transcends time and death,

A love so true and deep.

And I honor your memory,

Each day I live my life.

So grateful for the years we shared

So proud I was your wife.

I’ll love you forever,

Your Mouse
