AceShowbiz - Vinnie Jones has purchased the cemetery plot next to his late wife Tanya so he can be with her forever when he dies.
The 54-year-old actor was left devastated when Tanya passed away in July after losing her battle with cancer. But as he struggles to come to terms with his grief, Vinnie has already taken steps to ensure that he's laid to rest next to the love of his life at Los Angeles' Forest Lawn Cemetery when his time eventually comes.
"There's a tree next to her plot for Kaley (their daughter) to sit under," he told Britain's Sunday Mirror newspaper. "I've already bought the plot next to her so my ashes can be buried there too, and we can be together forever."
Before she died, Tanya penned a love letter to Vinnie inside a card which has "Always Believe Something Wonderful is Going to Happen" on the front. Inside, she wrote: "To my love Vin, something wonderful happens to me every day. It's being with you. You are my morning sunshine the moment I wake. All my love, Tanya."
Vinnie now carries the card with him everywhere he goes and, while he would have been happy to go with Tanya when she died, he knows he has to ensure their 32-year-old daughter is looked after, happy and content before he dies.
"I'm content to crash through the rest of my life in Heaven's waiting room until Tanya calls me," he said. "The rest of my life is not a long time if we are going to be together for eternity."
"But I want to live to do the right thing by our daughter, Kaley, and Tanya's family. But she'll call me when the time is right."
