Suzanne Somers‘ husband, Alan Hamel, gave the “Three’s Company” actress a handwritten letter at some point before her death at age 76 on Sunday.
Hamel, 87, gifted the poem to Somers as a part of an early birthday present. The late star passed away ahead of her 77th birthday on Monday.
In response to her publicist R. Couri Hay, Hamel “gave it to her a day early and he or she read the poem and went to bed and later died peacefully in her sleep.”
The note was written in all caps and was wrapped in pink peonies.
“Love I take advantage of it daily, sometimes several times a day. I take advantage of it at the tip of emails to my loving family. I even use it in emails to shut friends. I take advantage of it once I’m leaving the home,” the note began, via People. “There’s love, then love you and I like you!! Therein lies a number of the alternative ways we use love. Sometimes I feel obliged to make use of love, responding to someone who signed love of their email, once I’m uncomfortable using love but I take advantage of it anyway.”
“I also use love to explain an excellent meal. I take advantage of it to precise how I feel a couple of show on Netflix. I often use love referring to my home, my cat Gloria, to things Gloria does, to the taste of a cantaloupe I grew in my garden. I like the taste of a freshly harvested organic royal jumbo medjool date. I like biting a fig off the tree. I like watching two giant blackbirds who live nearby swooping by my window in an influence dive. My day by day life encompasses things and folks I like and things and folks I’m indifferent to,” he continued. “I could go on ad infinitum, but you get it. What brand of affection do I feel for my my wife Suzanne? Can I find it in any of the above? A convincing no!!!! There isn’t a version of the word that’s applicable to Suzanne and I even use the word applicable advisedly.”
“The closest version in words isn’t even close. It’s not even a fraction of a fraction of a fraction. Unconditional love doesn’t do it. I’ll take a bullet for you doesn’t do it. I weep once I take into consideration my feelings for you. Feelings… That’s getting close, but not all the best way.”
“55 years together, 46 married and never even one hour apart for 42 of those years. Even that doesn’t do it,” he added. “Even going to bed at 6 o’clock and holding hands while we sleep doesn’t do it. Observing your beautiful face whilst you sleep doesn’t do it.”
“I’m back to feelings. There are not any words,” he concluded. “There are not any actions. No guarantees. No declarations. Even the green shaded scholars of the Oxford University Press have spent 150 years and still have did not give you that one word. So I’ll call it, ‘Us,’ uniquely, magically, indescribably wonderful ‘Us.’”
Somers and Hamel tied the knot in 1977. She has a son, Bruce, 57, from her marriage to Bruce Somers, which resulted in 1968. She was also a stepmom to Hamel’s children, Stephen and Leslie Hamel.
Somers died on Sunday morning after “an aggressive type of breast cancer for over 23 years,” her publicist said in an announcement.
Somers’ family will gather Monday to “have fun her extraordinary life.” A non-public family burial may even happen this week, with a memorial to follow next month.
Somers was best known for enjoying Chrissy Snow on the Nineteen Seventies sitcom “Three’s Company” and Carol Foster Lambert on the ’90s family comedy “Step by Step.”
The creator is survived by Alan, her three children and 6 grandchildren.
