He said they were the “best earthly example of what a marriage should look like. They showed Christ’s love and His sacrifice. They both loved our families through challenging times of life. [They] were the ones we looked to when times were difficult, and they kept us pointed toward God and to be dependent on God.”

They carried with them a happy spirit, and their love for their church family was a model to all of us. To know that they were taken from us so quickly in a storm shocks all of us.
