mom & dad


These two kids got married and stayed together "until death do us part". Today is the Anniversary of when they got married back in 1953. They were together for 51 years until my dad went home to be with the Lord almost 3 years ago. They had 7 children in a little over 10 years! Please if you can, pray for my mom today that she will find comfort and peace as she remembers everything about my dad!

Much love,
Annie xoxo

Aw, you can just see how they love each other.It's always more difficult when one who is gone was loved so dearly. "A forever kind of love" Thinking of her and you thru today.

Oh, what a sweet couple. My mama and daddy were married about 55 years when daddy died. They really knew how to stay the course! But what happy memories!

Ang,
How was church tonight? I
need to get rest for my throat so singing was not the best idea. But you know I was singing in my head with you all!

i love your new closer..."Long hugs"! see, it gets to ya, doesn't it!

Lisa, it was awesome! Hearing our whole church singing without music to "Hear I am to Worship" gave me the chills! You would have loved it! Take care of that voice...you'll need it next week! All I could notice were people giving "token" hugs... thanks to you! No, not me, sista!
