- Joe Woods - ELIZABETHTON
J.B.-My Beloved Husband. We will be together in heaven, holding hands, walking streets of gold. We can stroll through the green fields of clover and rest our feet in the clear crystal waters.
Oh how wonderful us being together in heaven with Jesus by our side. We can rejoice and praise him forever and thank him for keeping us together. We had 52 special years down here, but my love is nothing compared to us being together in heaven. I will love you forever till my heart stands still. Your loving Wife, Betty Ann.
