Out of Darkness

Our forty-seven years together were very eventful and could be remembered as being filtered with good and bad times. But to me, we lived together a normal, busy life with the goal of always helping others. Throughout our journey together, we met, had the advice and assistance of so many enablers until it is virtually impossible to call all names. But I will say at this time-for me and for him, To God be the glory. Thank you It is because of these individuals that we reached higher heights and were successful in the many endeavors that we attempted. -Eartha Goodwin
