Today my beautiful bride escaped the bonds of earth to rest with Jesus. No more suffering. No more physical restraints. She’s free again to dance. The last three weeks brought a deep hurt to my heart. But it was also beautiful. We laughed. We talked about friends and family. She was never in any great pain. In the first week at home she got to eat many of her favorite foods before it became difficult. She smiled 99% of the time. Only once did she become angry. We moved her to a hospital bed for 24 hours. But upon hearing several times “ put me back in my bed” we gave into her determination. There was never another complaint. Her sense of humor with a little sarcasm stayed in tact. I was feeding her mashed potatoes last week. I told her “I made these for you!” She replied “I know they’re lumpy”. I’ve been around several people in their final days and witnessed how they suffered. Not Becky. She went peacefully. As I’ve said before it was a true Bulldog marriage as we met in Sanford Stadium at halftime of the Clemson game in 1986. Her last game was the Rose Bowl in 2018. Now, she has the best seats in the house for every game! Wife, I love you! RIP Funeral will be 3pm Saturday at Darby Funeral in Canton with visitation beginning at 1pm. (below our first road trip to Jacksonville in 1987 and our last to the Rose Bowl in 2018)
