“Do things<br />
together that<br />
make you happy<br />
and do them<br />
often.”<br />
Sondra was quick to explain,<br />
“I always think, what if we should<br />
die when we’re on the road, and<br />
I’ve left the house a mess!”<br />
They offered timely advice<br />
for young couples approaching<br />
marriage. She said, “Think twice<br />
before you speak. It’s easier to be<br />
nice than to be ugly. Also, be<br />
examples before your children.”<br />
Sondra believes a simple thing<br />
like regularly giving the tithe in<br />
the offering plate establishes a<br />
positive principle for your<br />
children to witness.<br />
J.W. said, “Do things together<br />
that make you happy and do them<br />
often. Also, don’t have anything<br />
except ‘ours’ – never ‘his or hers.’”<br />
Today they enjoy being a part<br />
of their eight grandchildren’s lives<br />
and being involved in community<br />
and their church, Brandon First<br />
Methodist.<br />
Their role model influence is<br />
now affecting an additional<br />
generation, and they’re quite<br />
successful at their endeavor<br />
of living happily ever after.<br />
