They mourned not only a wonderful wife and mother but also admired the unwavering love the couple had nurtured for decades – a love that endured through every storm, illness, and the test of time.
Though the loss is immeasurable, Engelbert shared that he will continue to sing and bring music to the world as a way of honoring the legacy of love his wife left behind. For him, every melody will forever be her whisper in his ear, reminding him that true love never dies.
