I found this author after she commented on a blog I read. She mentioned the COVID-changed service they held for her beloved husband, and she shared the youtube links. Then I found her blog, and this book.

My husband and I have been married 28 years, which seems a long time. But it is less than half the time she had with her beloved! This book is an amazing glimpse into that love and those years, with poems here and there. There is joy and comfort and grief and strength and promise within these pages.

If you see this, dear Lois, I thank you.
