Erma and I are complete and whole, a total that is more than the sum of it

A 69 year marriage and a love that is TRUE> that is what

D Robert Byrd has shown us by example

"Erma and I are complete and whole, a total that is more than the sum of its parts," Byrd said of his wife on their 65th wedding anniversary in 2002. "In my life, Erma Ora Byrd is the diamond. She is a priceless treasure, a multifaceted woman of great insight and wisdom, of quiet humor and common sense."



This man will be totally lost in the world and I fear not far behind his wife.

When a man loves this completely and totally and pure, they are so heartbroken that they don't usually last after they lose their wife.


I watched my uncle dwindle away to nothing because he was so heartbroke after his wife died and they were only married 35 years

While Republicans just talk about family values.
