In 2011, the Bains moved to an assisted living facility in the northern Atlanta suburbs.In 72 years of marriage, they provided countless blessings to family, neighbors, friends, and chance acquaintances. Robert was a World War II veteran of the United States Army Air Corps. He built every house that he and Louise called home. He was a fisherman, a hunter, and a gardener. Louise, a dedicated homemaker knew how to prepare the fish, the game, and vegetables. She raised a family, grandchildren, and great grandchildren with her love and service. She was Roberts perfectly matched helpmate and the special sauce that flavored the family. The Bains lived life to the fullest. They laughed, they prayed, they cried, and they sang. Their enduring devotion to each other and to Christ their God was the foundation and canvas for a portrait of true love. God be thanked for their time with us.
