I am learning that time doesn’t help very much. It’s been two weeks since you left us, I am so sorry I can’t make you laugh at me again.
Mom will always 🥰 😘
To everyone you were Forrest but to me you were Glenn… always giving each other a hard time you were definitely a brother to me not an “in-law” … and leave it to you to make me share my birthday with you. 💙 It will be my honor every year to celebrate YOUR life. You will truly be missed. Love you Glenn!!
My little brother. I remember when picking up the girls at mom and dads, you were always smiling and laughing every time I saw you. I wish we spent more time together as a family, but life seems to throw things into the mix and gets in the way. Until we meet again, I will forever see your smile. – I love you, Kelly
You were my first born, you taught me how to be a Mommy. You always had a hug or cuddle when it was needed the most. I never for a moment believed you you pass before me, but life throws us lemons. I can smile knowing your Granddaddy Cobble, Grandmother Cobble, Granddad Judd and Grandmother Louise meet you with loving arms and will keep you until the time comes that you are joined by your one and only Melissa. Dad and I will love you forevermore. Mom

For My Husband, My Prince, My Hero, My Forever Love
Every great Disney story tells us that true love is the most powerful magic of all. Today, I celebrate the man who was my greatest adventure, my happiest ending, and the love of my life.
He was my prince, though he never needed a castle. He was my hero, though he never wore a cape. He was my best friend, my partner, and the person who made every ordinary day feel like a journey filled with wonder.
Like Carl and Ellie, we built a life from countless small moments that became the greatest adventure of all. Like Mickey and Minnie, our love was timeless. Like Belle discovering the heart beneath the Beast, I was blessed to know the kindness, strength, and beauty of his soul.
And because he loved Star Wars, I know his story does not truly end here.
The Force is often described as an energy that surrounds us, binds us, and connects us all. I like to believe that the love we shared is much the same. Though I can no longer hold his hand, I feel his presence in the memories we created, the laughter we shared, and the love that will remain with me always.
He faced life's challenges with courage worthy of a Jedi. He loved fiercely, protected those he cared about, and left the world brighter simply by being in it. His legacy lives on in every heart he touched.
Today, I imagine him embarking on one final Disney adventure—sailing beyond the horizon with Moana, flying among the stars aboard the Millennium Falcon, and discovering worlds filled with wonder and light. I imagine him hearing the words every hero deserves:
"Your journey was extraordinary. Your love changed lives. You will never be forgotten."
Though my heart is broken, I am grateful beyond words that I was chosen to walk beside him. Ours was not a fairy tale because it was perfect. It was a fairy tale because it was real, and because we loved each other with everything we had.
Until we meet again, my love, may the Force be with you. May you find peace among the stars. And may you always remember that you were, and forever will be, the greatest gift of my life.
As Disney taught us, some people are worth melting for. Some loves are worth crossing oceans for. And some stories never truly end.
Our story is one of them.
I love you. Always.
Melissa
t’s all about Us. ❤️🙏🏻
