What is a widower? A man whose wife has died and who has not married again.
If you live long enough and you are married, you can either become a widow or a widower.
Being a man I am now defined as a widower.
God has helped me to keep my vows to Melvine for almost 60 years. I have loved Melvine long before I married her, as well as after we married on Saturday, August 13, 1960 in the Draper Pentecostal Holiness Church, in Draper, NC. I am currently reviewing all of those years in a wonderful relationship God gave me with the love of my life--Melvine Stewart Morgan.
In talking with Ann Phillips, wife of Charles Phillips, in Edmond, OK, by phone on Thursday she spelled the word, widower, for me. She served as my executive secretary when I pras president of Southwestern College, now Southwestern Christian University. She remembered things about Melvine that I never knew until now. That is one of the many reasons we all need to have trusted and treasured friends who can help us fill in the gaps in our memory.
Melvine and I were of the same faith, Pentecostal Holiness Church. We both loved the church and the people in the church. Our church has responded to us in our need, and we are so grateful.
And for all of you who read Hugh's News and respond to us we are grateful. We have heard from so many of you who were youth and now you are adults and are in ministry. We rejoice in how God has directed your lives and prepared you for the extensive ministries He is now giving you.
I think this is the first edition of Hugh's News I have written since Melvine passed away.
