To my beloved wife Helen…. As I recollect our life together, I was fortunate and so happy to have met and fell in love with you. We decided to stay together as we moved to San Diego and I knew then that inside you were our first child. Got married and start our wonderful life together with our children. In spite of my being away from home as military, you had done a superb job as a Navy wife and mother in raising, caring and teaching our children to be respectful and better person. I want to thank you my dear for your sacrifices. You are a good wife, teacher, motivator, mother and grandmother. I miss you so much dear and I will always cherish all the memories we had together. I will always remember you my love and forever thinking of you. In our favorite memories, and in placed where I shared happiest moments with you, I will find you still healing my heart with companionship and peace. As I share, talk and remember I truly find that the one I loved so much is still living in my hearts. I will forever remember all the laughs and sometime crazy things we did together when we were dating and in married life. This is not goodbye dear, we will always be together and forever thinking of you. Until we meet again. Miss you so much my dear! Rest in Peace My Beloved Wife and I LOVE YOU! Ted A. Abiva – Your Loving Husband
