Marriage Means...

(Two dedications of this post as congratulations to Rev. Harold and Mrs. Erma Edmondson on their 43rd Anniversary! Secondly, but not less meaningful, to Alzheimer patients, Lillian Karr Wilson and William "Wild Bill" Wilson, married 73 years and died within minutes of each other on April 7th in separate nursing homes in Kentucky. May they Rest in Peace!)
