A Tale of Endless Poetry
In honor and to the memory of my wife Jean Gomez
San Francisco, CA 1944-2025 Barstow, CA
From the windows of love searching for words for my wife Jean my best friend
On this day, I just want to offer a bouquet of thoughts to the most precious
pearl who adorn the almighty altar of the creation
To my wife Jean
God be with you in your journey, sweetheart
We're all just travelers through the galaxies of space and time
I'm deeply hurt mourning your departure from Earth I miss you from the
deepest of my broken heart
Yes, I do miss you, my eternal loving wife I'm sending all my love
toward wherever you are...somewhere, someplace, across the universe
where one day we will meet again
This day of July 11 2025, everything around seems to be already set for our
final goodbye. I never thought of this day would come, but it's here.
I won't forget the very last time we went out and spent time together,
This day and place was Easter Sunday at our local Saint Joseph Catholic
Church
On April 20 2025, we went out for the 12:00pm Easter Sunday Mass
We enjoyed being for Mass and had the chance to share and have
communion together at the altar. Obviously, this was a divine recall
from the day we got married on Friday, March 4 1983.
Today, I wish I could write and write
An endless book
An endless story
An endless praise to my wife Jean
You may now rest in peace my wife my love will follow you to wherever you go
