I lost my wife this morning.

Post by Bob Tuttle »

My wife, Barbara, passed away in her sleep this morning at our home here in Springfield, Missouri. Still not sure what happened. It could have been a heart attack or stroke since she has had both of these a few years ago. We were married for 48 years and I'm not sure how to cope with this huge loss in my life. My heart is broken. I could sure use a lot of prayers right now.
