At Mom's memorial service, Dad spoke some of the most beautiful words I have ever been blessed to hear. They made everyone tear up (including quite a few big, strong men), and some of us wept uncontrollably. His words were brief; they were spoken spontaneously, and came from the depths of his soul. He didn't even remember what he said, and later when we repeated them to him, he still didn't remember speaking them. Here's the best I can do to repeat his beautiful words:
"God saw fit to loan me this beautiful woman, Rose, for just 53 years, one month and one day, to love and to cherish and to protect. And I did that the best I knew how. I have to send her back to Him now, and I pray that He does the same for her."
May everyone in the world share a love as deep as theirs.
