76 Years and still going strong!

My wife's Grandmother past away last week. She lived a wonderful life and was surrounded by family and friends. She was 91, just think of all she saw in her life. And with 19 grandchildren, 36 great grandchildren, and 9 great great grandchildren, she had a full life.
While we were celebrating her home going to be with Jesus, I met her brother Donovan and his wife Evelyn. He is 93 and I didn't catch Evelyn's age. He then told me that he and his wife have been married for 76 years. After I asked him how do you get a marriage to last for 76 years he gave his wife a big hug and kiss and said "that's how". I think those two held hands almost all day. What a great example!
