Tribute to a wonderful couple!

This is my sister and her late husband along with her daughter and her husband. Last June 1, they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. In December Gerald went to be with Jesus. They have had a wonderful 50 years. They have 3 grown children, ( 2 sons and 1 daughter) and 5 grand-children. They have traveled to just about everywhere you can go in this world. He was a Pastor for many many years. He could preach the word and make you laugh and cry almost at the same time. Gerald had a great sense of humor. Everyone loved him. It has been very hard for my sister and his family to be without him, but we know we will see him again. This is a very hard day for my sister. The first anniversary without him. Please remember her in your prayers. 50 years is a long and wonderful life, but you are never ready for it to end. We all have so many good memories of him. He was a wonderful father and all his children are serving the Lord in some form of ministry. He has left a great heritage behind to everyone that had the privilege of being a part of his life. This picture was taken at their reception last year. They also had about 10 days earlier in the year where the whole family got together in Cancun, Mexico. That was a time they will always cherish. Everyday with Gerald brought laughter. He could make you laugh without even trying. He just had so much humor. He lived his life to the fullest and wasn't afraid to try anything once. He was a great asset to the ministry and his life truly glorified his Savior.
