Gene & Jackie,
First of all, let me begin by expressing my deepest sympathy in the passing of your Mother.
You know, I cannot remember a time when your Mother was not smiling, and it was always that same warm loving smile. She was wonderful person, and quite a lady.
She and your father were loyal and dedicated to and loved each other, the two of you, and all of their far-reaching family. Their marriage of 65 years is a testament to that love, loyalty, and dedication, something that is very rare in our society today, and something to be admired. I hold the two of them in the highest regard.
I’m certain you will miss her, just like you miss him. But I am even more certain that the two of them are together again, and at Peace with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. May He Bless and Keep them, as well as you and all of your family.
Lastly, I wish to share that which is inscribed on my own Father’s monument, and that is simply this, “The Memories We Keep Are Ours Unchanged Forever”. I pray that you are able to reflect on and retain the wonderful memories you have of your Mother, and your Father.
With Love,
Jim Soule
