To Laura

I overheard a story today. It touched my heart.
A man and woman met and fell in love. His cancer returned. Knowing well what she might be in for, the woman accepted his marriage proposal. They were legally married on March 2, 2008. The years go by. The cancer is held at bay as it charges again and again. Each time the man fights. He never loses resolve. Neither does the woman. She cares for him through every stage, through every hospital visit, through every surgery and chemo treatment. When he is well enough, they travel. They spend as much wonderful time together as they can to prepare for the inevitable. Years pass and the man, though strong emotionally and mentally, cannot fight the effects of the cancer anymore. She is there with him as he breathes his last breath. She is sad, yet relieved that her love will not hurt anymore. He never complained, but she knew....she knew. They hold a memorial service for him in a church he helped build...on March 2, 2012.

To Laura Jeffcoat. A strong woman. A faithful woman. Happy Anniversary.
Your rewards will be great. You were exactly what God designed a wife to be.
Thank you for loving my Uncle Darrell through so many hard times. More hard times than you ever deserved. I will forever be grateful to you and will always hold you in the highest esteem.
