There was love all around
But I never heard it singing,
No, I never heard it at all,
'Till there was you.
- Meredith Willson (from the song "'till there was you")

Helen & Dave Raab

Helen Leibowitz married David Raab in December of 1946.

If I didn't have you,
What would I do -
Where would I go,
Who would I care to know?
We said "I do", and that was forever,
For us to part? Never, never never.
We've had some pain, we've had some fun,
Oh what a tale we have spun.
Now we have a daughter and a son,
And that was where it had begun.
They gave us seven beautiful additions,
For more, I have no ambitions.
I'm so content with our family tree,
That started growing with you and me.
Written to Dave by Helen.
 
To you - who
Loves
Cares
Washes
Sews
And many more greats
I love you now and forever
Written to Helen by Dave.
