Rev's Greatest Challenge
All I have to say, I won't be before You long. We started out young And innocent. Football was the love of my life until I met this soul beautiful church going woman. This is my greatest challenge yet putting my heart out for someone I love. All the hits in football does not compare to this one. She did not think much of my first impressions but when this Daddy's Girl heard her father and I went on and on about sports and made bets on teams, I was right sometimes and he was right sometimes. She saw me then shining like I saw her like my sweet and dear mother. When we got married, we waited to have children and when we finally agreed. We tried and cried and laugh together. That child, our child died within her and she developed the illness that brought us here today. As the good book says and we can only hope that our works does not go down in vain, the children remember her and everybody standing here today remember. It's alright you shed a tear, here or there or in your moment of weakness or time of despair. She would be glad at her legacy. And be happy for the time you spent with her, those precious memories.
