Tony had begun to slowly sift through Shelly's things, she wouldn't want him mourning over her, he knew that. He was looking through a box, when he found a small green tin box. "What's this?" He thought, opening it. "It's a memory box."he said looking through the random news paper clippings, & odds & ends.

A bracelet, concert tickets, & a letter, addressed to him, curious he quickly opened it.

"My Dear Tony,

If your reading this, I've died. I'm sorry if you had to see it, but there is one thing I want you to remember. I love you, from the bottom of my heart. From the moment I saw you, in the shop I've been crazy over you. I loved watching you sleep you look like an angel you know that? I never wanted to close my eyes never wanted to fall asleep, cause when I slept I missed you & with you I never wanted to miss a thing. & Even if I did dream of you & the dream was sweet, it was never sweet enough, cause I still missed you. I don't know how you did it but you always made me feel like I was the angel, always made me feel so beautiful. When you were the one who was the angel & beautiful. I don't want you to cry over me after I'm gone. I love all those times we played guitars together. Me, you, Jay,& Stacy? One of my favorite times, Another? Our first kiss, when we were surfing? Sorry I slapped you, ha ha! Remember when you & Sid threw me in the ocean of f of P.O.P pier? I could have killed you for that. But was an amazing rush! But not better than the water fall jump. Part of me didn't want you to jump so I could tell Skip you chickened out on some thing. Oh come on! You still love me! Even if I do pull random junk on you. Like when I dressed up as Carrie? The look on your face was absolutely priceless!

I wish hadn't have died & put you through so much pain. But just remember, all though my flesh is gone I'll still be with you at all times all though my body's gone, I'll still there to comfort you at all times, But If I'm gone when you wake up Please don't cry. And if I'm gone when you wake up Don't ask why Don't look back at this time As a time of heartbreak and distress Remember me, remember me 'Cause I'll be with you, I'll be with you in your dreams. Tony I love you. Now It's my time to say goodbye. I love you from the deeps of my soul.

Your Loving Wife,
Shelly Maria West Alva"

Tony smiled sniffing "I love you too Shelly" & held the letter close to his chest.

"Daddy?"

He looked up, Avalon .

"Yes baby?" he asked

" I just wanted to see if you were ok, Is that Shelly's Letter?" Avalon asked setting beside him

He nodded, putting his arm around her.

"Can I read it?" she asked.

"Yeah sure baby." he handed her the letter, he gently kissed her forehead as she started to cry.

"I wish I could have met her." Avalon said sniffing handing the letter back.

"I know I wish you could have met her."

"I wanna be just like her dad." Tony just smiled hugging her.
