I was his first wife and we had 3 daughters together. His only biological children. We met going to Northern Arizona University. I kept my mare at his father's stables. We rode together and had a lot of fun. After we were married we travelled all over the Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Texas states following the construction jobs. It was hard with 3 little girls but we managed. The jobs paid good money and we always could buy things we wanted. He was pretty much a good father and husband.

May these words recorded at Isaiah 25:8 be of much comfort to you and your family during this time of deep sorrow. "He will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces. And the reproach of his people he will take away from all the earth, for Jehovah himself has spoken |it.”
