Raymond H. Saeler, July 1, 1930 - December 9, 1977

Dear Ray,

You were my first love and the father of our nine children.

You left this world you struggled with too soon.

When you died, and for many years, I couldn't mourn your death.

But as old wounds healed and memories of our young love surfaced I found feelings of loss.

The years have brought many changes.

I have loved, married and buried Phil, my second husband.

We lost our son Steve in 2007.

We have eighteen grandchildren and are waiting for the birth of our eighth great-grandchild next month.

As I grow older I feel the need to publicly declare the love I had for you and still hold in my heart.

May we all be with our Lord and loved ones in heaven some day.

We love and miss you.
