Neil and Barbara Larimore are celebrating 65 years of marriage. They married on June 25th, 1955, in First Baptist Church, and have lived a wonderful life through the years in Olney.
I lost my son in 2012, and already fighting depression, it became worse every year. Last year it got the best of me and I did not want to live anymore. I thought I was just hurting myself, but I was hurting everyone who cares about me, and for that I am very sorry. I turned to alcohol and it made everything much much worse in every way. I lost all my friends and even my family for a while. I put myself in a faith-based place called the House of Mercy in Olney Tx. It’s ran by an amazing man named Preston Crow, who has a gift for teaching the Bible just as it is written, and truly loves God. I learned more about God and His word than I ever dreamed of. The first three months was very hard for me. I stayed seven and a half months and it completely changed my life. I have been home for a few months now and will always keep working on being a better person, for God, my family, my friends, and myself. I just want to thank God for a new life and a new mindset.
