They were married for 72 years.
This is the last photo I took of Daddy and Mama together at our North Carolina Mountain home.
Mama went to be with the Lord August 6, 2018.
Daddy missed her every day until he took his last breath.
He breathed his last breath here at our home on September 26, 2019.
I was holding one hand, and Paul was holding his other.
It is incredibly hard to see someone you love so much pass away.
No words....
My heart will forever miss him; my heart will never be the same.
I will miss him until my last breath.

They are together now with the Lord.
They are happy, and they are in the presence of Him.
I know that they rejoiced to see each other.
What a glorious reunion for them both.
Rest in Peace Daddy
Give Mama a kiss for me.
Until I see you both again.....
I love you.

Jackie, I am so sorry to hear this. But how wonderful to have had him all those years. I remember how fondly you have spoken of your parents. It was obvious the LOVE was there to stay. Yes you will miss him from now on, how wonderful to have been there when he stepped over to the other side into His arms and that of your mother.
I am so glad you took the opportunity to post it.
Love and positive thoughts to you up in Georgia.

Thank you, Jack.
You have always been so kind to me; you are a gentleman, and your kindness will never be forgotten.
Sending you and Sherry much love.

What a wonderful tribute to two fine and exceptional people. We will all join them someday, and heaven will be a better place because they are there. Sending you much love and gratitude for your heartfelt post, Jackie. Blessings now and forever.
Thank you, Jan. ❤️
I tried to comment on your blog yesterday, but Blogspot showed that it wouldn’t post the comment.
I send you warmest wishes for a blessed and Merry Christmas.
You are so kind, and I am honored to call you my friend.
Love,
Jackie
Jackie, I am so sorry to hear this news. Oh what a tribute to both your parents - I have to tell you that you were blessed to have them - not everyone has good parents like that. I have never heard of a marriage that long either - that was wonderful. I hope to meet them in Heaven one day - but I know you miss them now. Love, sandie
Dearest Sandy....thank you so much for your words of comfort and love.
I was blessed by God with wonderful loving parents.
I know they are rejoicing together in Heaven with our Lord.
Merry Christmas to you. ❤️
I lost both my parents many years ago but the pain is still there. Knowing they are at peace is a consolation. Hugs from me.
Valerie....
I'm so sorry that you lost both of your parents; even though the years pass, people tell me that the pain of the loss of a parent will always be with one. I believe that with all my heart.
I send you a special hug today....
Love you,
Jackie
You think that as time goes by you will think of them less often. My own dad has been gone since I was 21 and not a day goes by that I don't think of him---not so much with sadness now--but with remembrance. God bless you as you walk this path.
Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment. xo Diana

Thank you, my friend.
My grief is still raw.
I’m struggling.
I miss Daddy and Mama.....
It is now March and I hope your feelings have settled into your comfort zone. Please remember that your parents loved you and would not like to think of you being unhappy. You have not lost them, Jackie, that will never happen. For their sake, be happy.
Thank you, Valerie.
I needed that. My heart continues to be heavy.
I know that Mama and Daddy wouldn’t want me to be sad so often, but it is hard. I miss them an incredible amount. I didn’t really have time to grieve when Mama died. I needed to be there for Daddy and make sure he got all the medical care and love that he needed. It was only a little over a year after he lost Mama that he went to be with the Lord.
Thank you for your sweet reminder. You are so right, my friend. I hug and love you.
Jackie
