Thank you to everyone, friends and family. This past week has been a flood of emotions as my children and I said goodbye to my beautiful bride. I was so thankful that she did not suffer as she parted us to be with our Lord. During this whole journey, Mary and I knew this day would eventually come. As the clock ticked closer, we started saying our good byes and would reminisce about our life we were blessed to share together for more than 45 and a half years. She never lost her joy in the Lord, and just as Philippians 4 :4-7 tells us we will experience God’s peace, I will continue there in! Today I wanted to share how I am just lavished with love and comfort that I can only explain has been received from my God. Of course I am still standing in the waters edge and experiencing waves of grief from losing the love of my life, but I am not standing alone. I have someone who said they would never leave me or forsake me at my side. My Lord and Savior. I find comfort and seek joy in those words. We have also been overwhelmed with phone calls, texts, messages, fb post, flowers, cards, visits, food, hugs, and words of encouragement! God bless each and every one of you! You all have reached out so wonderfully and shown so much love for those of us who have always held Mary close to our hearts. I can not express how thankful I am for the comfort we have felt from you all. Again, we love you all…Thank You!
