Chris Cornell's Wife Vicky Pens Touching Letter Before Funeral

Vicky Cornell, wife of the late Chris Cornell, wrote an emotional letter to her husband ahead of his funeral.

“To My Sweet Christopher,” the Soundgarden frontman’s wife started the letter (posted by Billboard). “You were the best father, husband and son-in-law. Your patience, empathy and love always showed through.”

“You had always said I saved you, that you wouldn’t be alive if it were not for me. My heart gleamed to see you happy, living and motivated. Excited for life,” Vicky continued. “Doing everything you could to give back. We had the time of our lives in the last decade and I’m sorry, my sweet love, that I did not see what happened to you that night. I’m sorry you were alone, and I know that was not you, my sweet Christopher. Your children know that too, so you can rest in peace.”

Chris reportedly committed suicide last week just hours after performing on stage with his band at Detroit’s Fox Theatre.

I’m broken, but I will stand up for you and I will take care of our beautiful babies. I will think of you every minute of every day and I will fight for you. You were right when you said we are soulmates. It has been said that paths that have crossed will cross again, and I know that you will come find me, and I will be here waiting.

Always and forever,
Your Vicky
