"It will be 50 years the 3rd day after tomorrow since I was married but I have had to walk lifes pathway alone now for almost 22 years. No not alone for God has been with me & sustained me through my many trials & I trust him for the rest of the journey which I hope will not be long for my companion and five children are waiting I trust to welcome me home."
