MY WIFE, MY LIFE, MY ALL
TEARDROPS
I carried a teardrop in my hand hoping that it would stay.
Bedazzled by the great beauty that God had sent my way.
I watched it scintilate brightly in the flow of married life.
Its bright glow lighting up the way through misery and strife.
Too late I saw how its warm giving was diminishing the tears size.
Too filled with exuberance of its being there to ever be so wise.
Seeing my tear fading, I cupped it in my hands hoping it would stay.
And I watched with frantic tear stained eyes, my teardrop fade away.
Now it may never shine again brightly for others out there to see.
But it's glow will remain here in my heart, my wife's last gift to me.
Goodbye my darling teardrop, Goodbye to you my darling wife.
Although I'll grieve, remain bright within, a beacon to my life.
Love you dear. Always will.
Tom
Dedicated to my darling wife Margaret Ann who passed over 9/13/93

A Tribute to our Children
Thomas A. Jr.
The love of nature runs strong within him. He loves to hunt and fish, he walks the woods like a shadow is fiercly independent and is one with the Earth
Patrick A.
Always the michevious one. The mechanic of the family. Lessons well learned in childhood by tearing apart everything he got his hands on. But then he learned to put them back together again.
Pamela A.
Her Mothers looks and her Mothers ways, would best describe my oldest Daughter. She is every bit as good a Mother, if not better by her Mothers example. And a better drill sargeant then her Father ever could be.
Joseph H.
How does one go about describing his youngest son. A handsome little professor, forever seeking, yet not finding that special niche in life. A Son to be proud of, learning each day through diversity to become better.
Leila R.
The baby of the family. Spoiled rotten, of course. She and her Sister could be twins in appearance. Despite the misfortune of a young and tragic marraige, in which her self esteem was shattered, she is slowly recovering to be a daughter to be proud of.
Thus you have our family! That which shall forever be a tribute to their Mother's memory and mine. Each growing in their own private way, yet each displaying in their own ways aspects of their Mother and I.
These indeed are our monuments. Between the five they have blessed us with twenty Grandchildren and five G.Grandchildren. A perfect tribute to that wonderful women I shall ever be proud to call my wife.
