Well, My wife passed after 61 yrs of marriage with me. And that was 18 yrs Ago. And I left without any one to help me. But after 7 yrs (I believe Jesus His "Holy Spirit" to me) And send another lady; that has cared me: and she is right now. As I am a 93 Yrs; she is only 35 yrs age.

But I brought her to Jesus. And she loves it every since. May Jesus to bless to her, AMEN!

Dodie was indeed a Christian by any measure. She and I were married 67+ years. She looked after me and I did the same for her. In case anyone wonders what happened to her, I will explain. About three years ago she was struck with mild dementia. It steadily got worse with time. My son Daniel realized I did not have the stamina (I am 88) to perform adequate care for her here at home, so he quit his day job to stay here with me to help. Daniel has been my angel during this dreadful time. May God bless him eternally.
