Stella and Clyde Sparks of Marion County have been married over seventy years and still very much in love.
Their faith has kept them strong, even through the toughest of times.

But now it’s 13 years later and Clyde is celebrating his 90th birthday.
“When I feel bad I’ve got somebody to talk to, somebody I trust, somebody I know,” is how Clyde explains his lasting power.
