"No other girl for me but her." He makes the Taj Majal look like a popsicle stand. Our minds are colored by our thoughts. His is full of love and devotion for his wonderful wife. So many people never get to experience that kind of love. God bless him for being an example of love and devotion for others. Thanks again Mr. Hartman.

I don't cry very easily but that sweet man visiting his wife's grave several times a day, everyday brought me to tears. I think all of us want a love like that, and they were 2 of the lucky ones. God bless him.
