To my loving Husband, Kevin (KC)We met five years ago, and little did we know what these five years together would mean for the both of us. Pure Unconditional Love. You told me, “You finally got to experience what real love is”. You also told me, “You wish you had met me 25 years ago”. You always called me your “trophy wife” and that I was an upgrade to what you had. The laughter, the pranks, the jokes, and all of the fun times we shared will never be forgotten. What we shared together was so magical, it was as if we knew life would end as we know it and sadly it did come to an end.
