So sorry for the loss of your husband.
I'm sure you know your contributions here have been and will continue to be greatly appreciated.
You are both in my thoughts and prayers.

Deanna,

Please accept my condolences on the passing of your husband.

Here is something that I have found helpful in times of grief. Perhaps it will be helpful to you

‘There is nothing that can replace the absence of someone dear to us, and one should not even attempt to do so. One must simply hold out and endure it. At first that sounds very hard, but at the same time it is also a great comfort. For to the extent the emptiness truly remains unfilled one remains connected to the other person through it.... Furthermore, the more beautiful and full the remembrances, the more difficult the separation. But gratitude transforms the torment of memory into silent joy. One bears what was lovely in the past not as a thorn but as a precious gift deep within, a hidden treasure of which one can always be certain.’
– Dietrich Bonhoeffer

You were lucky to have had each other.

“God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be, so he put his arms around you and whispered come with me. With tearful eyes we watched and saw you pass away. Although we love you dearly we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best. "

Deanna,

I am so sorry. I wish I could find proper words of comfort... I suspect there are none.

You've been a wonderful caretaker of such a brave fighter. Please try to find some time to take care of you.

Keeping you in thoughts as you endure the days ahead.

Thank you for all of your contributions here.

Huge hugs sent your way...

Deanna,

I'm sorry for the passing of your husband and I know you have great memories of your life with him.

Prayers for you and your family.
