I remember when his wife Betty died and I know they were married for a long time. . Arthur and his wife Betty had a great love for one another as my mom and dad did . I remember my mother passing away only 4 months after she did. I also remember the grief that my dad had after she died. I’m sure that Arthur felt the same grief as my dad did when his wife died .. I look at it like this and would wish for the family to feel the same way as well.. Arthur and Betty were to soul mates who have reunited in heaven and for them to live this life apart would be selfish. My dad didn’t care to live on the earth without his wife as I have been told Arthur felt the same way. It says in the Bible that 3 things will remain Faith , Hope and Love but the greatest of these is Love. I would like to say farewell to Arthur and give my condolences to the family.
I am very sorry for the loss of your Dad. Your family will be in my prayers for peace and comfort at this time of need.
Thank you for your support Keefer.
