In Loving memory of my Beloved, Alvin Snider 1945 – 2024
There is an indescribable amount of grief after losing a beloved. Losing a husband often means losing a protector, a guiding hand, a best friend, and a superhero. But focusing on all the incredible memories we shared and the amazing man he was can help bring light into my darker days.
To me, Alvin was another name for love. All my problems ended with a single word from Al. A smile from him was sunshine, his scowl a bolt of thunder. He was smart, and generous, and honorable without fail. A man of many stories, some factual and others not so factual, and for the longest time, I thought he was invincible. Above problems that plagued others.
Deeply, I know this, that love triumphs over death. Alvin continues to be loved, and therefore he remains by my side. I feel you often in my daily life. You will always be in my heart… because in there you’re still alive.
Alvin, I’m so thankful for all the memories we shared together. I only wish you were here to make more. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about you Al. You were the guiding light in my life, and today especially I’m reminded how lucky I was to have you for as long as I did. I love you eternally. How lucky am I to have had a husband so special that I miss you this much. As much as I am sad not having you around, I’m happy to know you’re at peace.
You may not be with me anymore, but my love for you will never die. I miss you, Al.
There’s a special kind of feeling
When I think about you, Al
It’s a pleasure to remember
All the happy times we’ve had
There’s a special kind of caring
That is meant for you alone
There’s a place somewhere
Within my heart
That only you can own
Missing you always,
Love you always your beloved wife, Shelley xoxoxo
