A memory
Our wedding day in our Apple orchard I arrived in a pony wagon with my four brothers being the horsemen and seeing my husbands face with tears and a smile

My four brothers beside me, my heart weak at the knees
I saw the tears and the smile upon your handsome face

His 6’4” tall and platinum hair and his blue yes
In the song 0:35Blue eyes shining bright in that holy, happy place
Six-foot-four with platinum hair, my gentle, loving man

IIIJames’s story
James was a very patient, loving husband and father, six foot four with platinum hair and blue eyes. “My silver fox,” she would call him.
He was a woodsman who loved his woods. He cut trees, cut his own lumber, built their home extension and loved driving his tractor. Together they worked their 15 acres, “our piece of heaven on earth.”
They were married in their apple orchard. She arrived in a pony wagon with her four brothers as the horsemen, and saw his face “with tears and a smile as I walked to him.”
“Such a tall handsome man.”
What she wrote about him
He believed God’s grace is real, and they would say their prayers before they laid their heads down. He adored his only daughter, Jamie, with all his heart.
Before the end, he heard that Jamie was having a boy in December. He got to hear the baby’s heartbeat and see the sonogram, “so precious a moment between James and Jamie.”
He found out he had cancer, and he was comforted by his faith. When he passed, all his family was around him.
“Down to the last moment of saying goodbye with the Lord taking him by the hand and family around”
James’s wife, in her video
Their phrase was always “Forever and always two hearts as one.” She asked for a tender gospel song that celebrated James.
