“I sent this letter to Carol that she received the week before she went to be with the Lord. https://bit.ly/EFDtoCarolLast I hope you like this portion: "I miss the woman I married, you, and long/pray for one day, that our family will be reconciled in Christ, and me and our sons, their families, our grandchildren can appreciate your company again, and since I pray everyday for that, I leave it in God’s hands, just as I did when I was praying for an “unknown” Carol in the 20 months before I ever got to Decatur to meet you. You read those prayer book entries for yourself, and for that I am thankful, for the blessing of being asked to pray for you since the fall of 1982, all through now, as I pray for our sons and their families as well. God has blessed us Carol, starting with both our leaps of faith in Him, to follow His guidance, and marry each other despite our fears, concerns, baggage we both brought with us. Many people find odd, that I still adore you, well, I adore God, the price He paid for me on the cross, forgave my sins, and then used you to give us a family that would serve Him as well. I can’t separate the Love I have for the Lord in giving me, a lonely angry nerd, new life, a family, the one woman I would be intimate with, who He would use to provide us with 2 sons, and through them extended family. I am not ashamed of that at all. Love, Gene”
