My wife of almost 53 years past away this past Saturday Feb. 22 from a long battle with diabets. She was my biggest fan. Never letting me quit when I was trying to learn to play the steel. I will miss her dearly.

Mr. Blackwell, I am very sorry to hear of your loss. 53 years of marriage is certainly something to be very proud. My deepest sympathy to you. Keep playing and keep strong. You will be in my prayers. Gary Cooper, Alabama

CB, so sorry to hear this.
you are in our prayers.

Her Journey’s
Just Begun

Don’t think of her as gone away-
her journey’s just begun;
life holds so many facets—
this earth is only one.
Just think of her as resting
From the sorrows and the tears
In a place of warmth and comfort
Where there are no days and tears.
Think how she must be wishing
That we could know, today,
How nothing but our sadness
Can really pass away.
And think of her as living
In the hearts of those she touched…
For nothing loved is ever lost—
And she was loved so much.
