I will never forget the time I drove them to dinner downtown. He told me I was in a really sharp car but not near as sharp as his wife that was true love I have never forgot that statement and I never will. If there is ever a man that loves his wife that man did and he’s never cared to show it. I am so sorry for your loss. I am thinking about you guys at this difficult time. May God be with you.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal
