    John David Willson wrote the following Memorial for his late wife Sarah Lundy Willson:

    My spirit rent in twain, & I was but part, no Bride
    without the Bridegroom, nor Bridegroom without the Bride was like the mourning of my soul. I sought for rest & found none. I wept & knew not the cause.

    The pillow gave no rest to mine eyes, nor food contentment to my heart. I sought her spirit through all the watches of the night, & found her not. In vain I sought for her whom I would see. I mourned for a communication from her lips again. I mourned to know where she was, & what she had to communicate to me, for I could not live without her conversation. I drew near her bed, I thought I could discover a spark of life to move within her heart although her person was deceased. I put mine ear to her breast to know if I could discover any symptoms of life in her, whether spiritual or personal; I could discover nothing but the breaking of a bubble within her. In despair I left her & mourned again. Disconsolate, I returned to her person & thought I heard a language in her breast saying I will soon come to thee. (I had offered myself a sacrifice to death to be with her but unacceptable to God - I had to remain to weep).
