Mary, so sorry to hear of the passing of your husband! Praying for you and your family! Mrs. Mcafee (preach preach)
No one can imagine those lost few years, The days and nights of wondering, praying, looking for a light at the end of a tunnel, Forgoing your life to make sure your husband was cared for and not left behind, The times that when even I and others said you need help, you need assistance, you need a break. And with great strength and courage, you held your head high and said I could never leave his side! TRUE LOVE is not seen when the lights are brightest, but when the dark is the darkest! Whenever the Bible speaks of a WOMAN, you proved to be the example, The example every woman should want to be compared to. I love you AUNT MARY, and I will always be a phone call away when u need me, May the MOST HIGH comfort you in this time of grief, and that you are blessed with great joy for the rest of your days β€οΈ
