How did your love story begin?

We met at a church function. I had just started going to that church a couple of weeks. We sat across from each other at different tables and I was completely mesmerized. I asked him out a couple of weeks later and developed very quickly from there and 11 months later we were married. We are in our late 60’s and it just what we had both been praying for.

What is your favorite memory you've shared as a couple?

Our first date was a southern gospel singing. He is from up north and had never heard of southern gospel but was willing to go. He really enjoyed it.

What would you do with $20,000?

Put a down payment on a bigger house. I moved in with him and his house was built for one male with an occasional family guest. I need more space, lol.
