After the mourners paid their respects and made their exit, it was just the family.
and after the nieces and nephews and cousins and son and daughter said their farewell, it was Jimmy's turn.
'til death do us part.
it takes on a new meaning when you watch a broken man say goodbye to the only love he ever knew.
The music had long since stopped playing...
and finally it was just this frail old beautiful man... touching the face and hands of his beloved best friend. Sobbing openly and loudly... pouring out the contents of his heart. Bidding farewell to his bride of almost 70 years.
It was a very sobering and lovely moment.
And if I live to be 120 years old, I will never forget it.
