In Remembrance of Our 50th Wedding Anniversary, Feb. 6, 2009 It’s been 50 years ago that we took our wedding vows (to have and to hold until death do us part) as husband and wife. With God’s help we raised two great children and had a wonderful 43 years of togetherness. It seemed far too short when God called you home. I only wanted to go with you but He left me here to carry on with life’s journey. Life without a spouse is difficult in every way and gets harder every day. Tears we can wipe away but the ache in our heart always stays. When one loses a spouse, feelings continue to burn brightly forever! Together forever, With love, Marlene
