Re: Better Half Departed to be with her Lord
Thank you Tom, had 25 great years with her but at only 50 was looking forward to many more. But the Lord needed her even more. She was very special.

Wish I could have managed it. We will be thinking about them all.

Wow, sure was a great NGW Cartel representation. Curtis, Cleveland, Gahanna, Texas and Toronto are kinda distant.

Re: Better Half Departed to be with her Lord
I read this the other day, I am sorry that I didn't respond for a time. I tried and just could not find the proper response! I know how my 2 young sons and young daughter and I felt when my wife (Donna) was taken away so fast under similar circumstances after 23 years of marriage and 47 years of age. I truly offer my condolences. Your wife is resting now and I believe she wants you to have faith and when you think of her that it gives you the best of memories and makes for smiles in your heart.
I am truly sorry for your and yours loss.
Bob

Re: Better Half Departed to be with her Lord
Fred, I can feel your pain brother. I lost the best thing that ever happened to me in Sept. 2006 to cancer. I know what a void this leaves in your life but it does get less painful with time. God Bless you and yours.

Re: Better Half Departed to be with her Lord
Fred,
How nice that there was a NGW club presence at your wife's service. That's special. Although I'm sure there were moments of pain and sadness, I hope there was laughter as well.
My wife has told me that when she dies, she expects all those who attend her 'remembrance' to be full of joy for the life she led (she's such a happy person), to tell as many funny and uplifting stories as they can about her and, most of all, to be happy. If I'm still around, I'm going to make that happen.
I'm sure that everyone in attendance today at Deb's service felt the same way about her and left with very positive and loving thoughts.
