HIGH SCHOOL SWEETHEARTS
Our time of goin' steady and falling in love
A time of inspiration, purpose and adventure; of carnival rides, oil painting, playing guitar, the White Album, selecting a college and more...
LOVING WIFE OF 47-YEARS
We married in 1972
Her character, faith, strength and forbearance; her beauty, heartwarming smile and love became part and parcel of my adult life.
Deborah Ann Shackelford
August 1951 to September 2019
In loving memory of Debbie, mother of our two sons, grandmother of five.
But now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love
You left me, sweet, two legacies, -
A legacy of love.
A Heavenly Father would content,
Had He the offer of;
You left me boundaries of pain,
Capacious as the sea,
Between eternity and time,
Your consciousness and me.
Emily Dickinson
