“… I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home.” ~ Matthew 25:35 (NLT) ~ In May 2020, Tony Williams — of Hampshire, England — lost his soul mate, his wife of 35 years, to pancreatic cancer. Her name was Jo.

“How Great Thou Art” “The Wonderful Cross”
Today, he feels lost without her. He has no children or family to visit. So the 75 year old retired physicist sits at home, alone. Days pass, one after another, without speaking to anyone.

He also placed a sign in the window of his home: I have lost Jo. My lovely wife and social mate. I have no friends or family. No one to talk to. I find the unremitting silence 24 hours a day unbearable torture. Can no one help me? My first response to this heartbreaking story — and maybe your first response, too — is to think that Tony could (and should) find a place to volunteer: a senior citizens home, a children’s hospital, a shelter for displaced families. Or he could even visit a church. Certainly he would find friends there?
