The Lord is Close to the Brokenhearted...

Betty and Curtis Tarpley were both diagnosed with the Coronavirus and were able to hold each others' hands in their final moments. The couple died less than an hour apart -- after 53 years of marriage. Stuart and Adrian Baker contracted the Coronavirus and died just six minutes apart after 51 years of marriage. Mary and Wilford Kepler were hospitalized after contracting the Coronavirus and laid in beds next to each other, saying the words "I love you" one last time before dying just a few hours apart -- after 73 years of marriage. Bill and Jill Calderone had been married for 76 years when they died two weeks apart after succumbing to the Coronavirus. Sadly, such tragic stories continue to mount. Psalm 34:18: "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."

From Him, Through Him, For Him (Romans 11:36),

Paul J. Staso
