    This might not interest very many, but, altz is a long goodbye. And yet, when the parting comes, it is not what we are prepared for. After 60 yrs and 17 days, my DW went to her rest on March 14. I picked out her casket and planned her service with the help of our children. It was my Goodbye and on the inside lid of her casket was the inscription "My Loving Wife". The music was me singing to her as my way of saying I Love You and I will see you again. Since I couldn't sing in this life, the recording sufficed.

    The children put together a slide show from our family pictures showing our life together. I think they did a great job, and if anyone would like to see it, it is on you tube under 'Anna Jane Jean Haywood remembrance slide show. The picked the pictures, but, I picked the music. If you are not interested, I completely understand.

    In case any of you are interested, there was another side of our life that I am thankful for also. And that is, my DW was cute, pretty, emotional manipulative and spoiled. She could cry at the drop of a hat and she knew that I couldn't stand it. So, she used it to her full advantage. A game we played and it always (almost) worked to her advantage. I am thankful for that side of our marriage also.

    I miss her and wish we could do it all over again.

    Thanks for reading this.

    You folks are very kind. I watch this often and feel good about the life that we were blessed to enjoy.

    One comment tho. In some of the pictures, my DW has the prettiest blonde hair that is styled perfectly. This was done at a salon in Scottsdale and I thought it was beautiful. However, I was never able to find out how much it cost. From a terribly poor childhood she had awfully good taste.

    Hope you have a good day.

    PS: I sometimes say that if I had it do over again, I wouldn't let her get away with some of the things that she got away with. But, I know that isn't true.

    Beautiful tribute to your lovely wife.! I have no doubt that you will stroll over Heaven with her some sweet day. We don't know the reason for trials and heartaches but we do have the assurance that Heaven will erase all pain and sorrow. Thank you for sharing this video.

    You good people didn't agree with me that I would change (ha, ha) some things if I had it do over. You surely have opinions, one way or the other don't you?

    It is easy to see that she was a loving and happy lady with a smile on her face. It is also easy to see why you loved her. Dean, you were a loving and happy husband and you loved spoiling her. Sending hugs your way.
