Singer Johnny Cash's wife, June Carter Cash, died May 15, 2003. As a follower of Jesus, she displayed many Christlike qualities. In particular, she never quit loving her husband and never quit challenging him, despite his failings.
In his 1998 autobiography, Johnny Cash describes how his wife stuck with him through his years of amphetamine abuse:
June said she knew me, knew the kernel of me, deep inside, beneath the drugs and deceit and despair and anger and selfishness, and knew my loneliness. She said she could help me. If she found my pills, she flushed them down the toilet. And find them she did; she searched for them, relentlessly.
