Here's for my beautiful eyes, taken from us on August 14th. I'd thought I'd sort of moved on or reconstructed my life until I heard this song, so much of our life together. We were only married 29 years; a lifetime for so many, so short to Margaret and me. Loved and missed by all who knew, her, met her and spoke to her. Oh she had the prettiest eyes to behold by anybody. Dedicated to Margaret Ellen Roberts, loved by all, missed by everybody. XXX
