Dear Casey,
I just lost my husband a couple of months ago. We were married for 35 years. He was sick for quite a while, but I never expected him to stay in the hospital & never come home again. He was the greatest person I've ever known. He touched so many lives & always worried about me, his mom, and our children. We had a great live together. When I lost him, it shattered my whole world. I'll never forget him. His name was Doug. Casey, could you play a song that will help me move forward with my life the way Doug would have wanted me to? I want him to know that I will always be remembering him no matter where I am or what I'll be doing.
My name is Janet, and thank you.
