Romero -- Lori In Loving Memory Feb. 2, 1927 -- Dec. 8, 1997It has been two years since you left me to be with the Lord. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. I miss you very much, but I thank the Lord for placing you with me within this lifetime. God willing, we'll be together again.There's a New World somewhere they call the Promised Land, And I'll be there someday if you will hold my hand; I still need you there beside me no matter what I do, For I know I'll never find another you.There is always someone for each of us they say, And you'll be my someone forever and a day; I could search the whole world over until my life is through, and I know I'll never find another you.It's a long, long journey, so stay by my side, If I walk through a storm, be my guide.If I were give a fortune my treasure would be small, I could lose it all tomorrow and never mind at all; But if I should lose your love, dear, I don't know what I'd do, For I know I'll never find another you.Your Loving Husband, Martin
