Of course as Charles's wife l have a host of memories, because short of a month we were married for 60 years.
My fondest memory is serving along side him as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses for a total of 111 years.
We enjoyed so many blessings together. We talked about them, laughed about them and even shared them with others.
During his many years of sickness we always talked about being together in Paradise when sickness and death will be no more.
I remember his devotion to his family, his strength, and most of all his unyielding love and beautiful example of faithfulness he showed his family because of his service to his very Best Friend Jehovah God, it was contagious.❤❤
I remember when Charles first had his aneurism and the firm stance he took against taking blood.
