In Loving Memory of My Darling Husband

In Loving Memory of My Darling Husband

Collectible Treasures Antique and Collectibles was originally started as a personal website, with an online catalog added, to

find new homes for antiques and collectibles, that I acquired

thru both my parents estate, and my grandmother's. I worked

five years on the site, and did quite a bit of selling of many of

the items that I had available. I enjoyed doing that

tremendously, and then in 2007 my husband died, and I just

didn't have the heart to continue working with my site, or my catalog. So now after 4 years of trying to deal with the loss of

my husband, I have returned to my site to review it, and to

see where I might now take it. It is still linked with many of

the interests I had in antiques and collectibles. I am now

offering my online catalog of items with new items to sell,

at this time.

I will be exploring different avenues and different things that

I can redo my site that will offer hopefully interesting things

for any who may find their way here. I hope that all who drop

by will browse the many pages that I have left, and come again

later to see what I have added. Of course this will take time, so

I appreciate everyone's understanding. Drop me a line if you

wish, and any suggestions you might have for me. I would

love hearing from you.

You can still research your antique and collectible items from

within the website's "items we have sold" links. Thank you

for being patient with us during our change over, and

especially for your stopping by and visiting us, and to all

our customers both past and hopefully future we appreciate

you very much.

My darling husband Dale, ( Always Buddy to me and his

family ), passed away Feb. 6, 2007. He had his 62 birthday

on Feb. 3rd, three days before he died. This coming June

we would have celebrated our 42nd anniversary. My life

has totally changed since his death, and will never be the

same again. Words cannot express whats in my heart, so I

won't even try.

My husband was as much a part of this website and it's

creation as I, for he gave me the time to work on it, create it,

and dreamed of my success in all that I desired to do with it.

In honor of my darling who I miss achingly I add the

following.

A nephew gave me a card from him and his wife, at my

husband's funeral. It says almost what my heart cries.

It reads as:

I Am So Sorry for Your Loss

A loved one is a treasure of the heart, and to lose a loved

one is like losing a piece of yourself. But the love that

this person brought you did not leave, for the essence of

the soul lingers. It cannot escape your heart, for it has

been there forever.

Cling to the memories and let them find their way to heal

you. The love and laughter, the joy in the togetherness

you shared, will make you strong. You'll come to realize

that your time together, no matter how long, was meant to

be, and that you were blessed to have such a precious gift

of love in your life.

Keep your heart beating with the loving memories, and

trust in your faith to guide you through. Know that

though life moves on, the beauty of love stays behind to

surround and embrace you. Your loved one has left you

that... to hold in your heart forever.

( by Debbie Burton-Peddle)

My husband was treasured and I always teased him, that

I loved him more, much more. His deepest desire was to

live here on earth with me for as long as he could, and he

fought to do just that. I keep telling myself that things

are not as they seem, that my husband and I were

victorious in our faith, that God did heal him, and he did,

for he is with his Lord now, whole and sound, and

wouldn't want to come back here now, even though he

loves me, for anything. He is well, and he's not lost to me,

for I know full well where he is and who he is with.

To my darling husband I love you now as always, and

though my life seems so empty without you here by my

side, our life together was precious, and treasured by

me. You are missed so very much. And as you always

called me, The Wife, The Wife says to you, I love you

more, much more.

My husband Dale, known to me nd his family as Buddy,

on our 40th anniversary.

Me and my husband on our Wedding Day, June 5th, 1965

Buddy with his cherished Shortcake. I gave Shortcake to

Buddy's brother Abby and Mary, who will love her and

treat her like a little princess. I must now find a home for

the boys, Little Diamond and Dimaond Duke. I cannot

give away our Diamond Eye or our Sapphire Lady.

Little Diamond and Diamond Duke, were taken by a

lovely lady and her family, to give them a home together

and breed them with their female Jack Russell,

Sept. 21, 2007.

I now only have the daddy and mother of these, the

sweetest and most loving little Jack Russell's. I pray they

stay safe, well and will be taken the best of care for the rest

of their life. They gave me and my husband many many

days of laughter and joy. They are beautiful and I will

miss them each.

A Note To All Who Visit my site. Please bear with me if

delays occur in checking my email. I try to make myself

do that at least every couple of days, for my website, my

visitors, my customers, are important to me, as they were

to my husband who helped me by giving me his love and

support, in the creation of my site. He enjoyed hearing me

tell him of emails I received, orders that I had received for

things that were special to me, a desire I always had to find

the things I offer in my online catalog, a new and loving

home.

My heart is not so full of the joy or excitement I had in

starting my quest to find a new home for the treasures I

have, not now, but my loyalty to my visitors and my

customers is as always strong to them. I will do my best

and try to continue as my husband would want me to. I

just have many more things that I also must do and

accomplish for him, for me. Please to all who it means

anything to, to all who are believers in Christ, my dear

brother and sisters, please remember me in your prayers.

Linda
