I've hesitated to post anything because I don't live my life in the public eye. I think its time to share. My wonderful wife of 30 years 244 days suffered a massive brain bleed in her cerebellum while giving testimony at church for work of evangelism in our office. She was unconscious within 6 minutes and I don't believe she ever had consciousness after that. Her body gave up about a week later and we buried her on the 28th of June at Heritage Acres Memorial Cemetery near Amelia Ohio. It was a green burial so she was not embalmed and was put in a beautiful basket with linin cloths and she awaits the resurrection. She's on the side of the hill that faces East. I hand dug her grave and Tomorrow or some day after, if the Lord tarries, I will be put in the grave I bought next to her. She was a gift from God to me filling my heart with love and laughter all the days of her life. She was my wife, best friend, lover, business manager, ministry partner for God, and constant companion as we lived our life together almost everyday, all the time. Needless to say, my life was torn from me as I lived and breathed her presence everyday. She stepped into my life over 31 years ago. The morning I lost her, I found her in the kitchen and I came up behind her and gave her a big bear hug, told her she was the most beautiful woman I knew, and that I was glad she was my wife after which I gave her a morning kiss. I'm so glad I did because that was the last time I was able to let her know I loved her.
Today I bury my loving wife. This is in memory of her.
