I wrote to this group when Marion was diagnosed with cancer and
although I was not a frequent poster I have read and taken comfort from
you.
This morning at 02:20 UK time my Wife Marion died, surrounded by
friends and family she slipped peacfully away.
While clearing up this morning I found a Valentines card from her
telling me how much she loved me.
Please say a prayer for her.
Del.

Del, I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope that you wife has finally found
peace from her battle now. Having lost my husband 2 1/2 yrs ago to cancer I
know that the road ahead will still be tricky for you. But please take some
comfort from knowing that it does get easier, the grief gradually subsides
and you will always have your memories to cherish.

Warm Hugs

Alayne

Del,

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. What a sweet thing that she
remembered in her last moments to write a card for you. It must have
been wonderful to be so loved.

Please accept my sympathies.

I'm so sorry, Del to read that your wife passed away.
Marion's at peace now. I'm sure that many prayers are going out to her and
to you, as well.
That is heart-breakingly touching that you found her Valentines card for
you today.
Please take care of you and let us know, from time to time, how you are
doing.

I lost my Franzi in September. Since that time I have felt his
presence here with me. He is still my comfort. I am sure that your
wife guided you to "find" this valentine. You may not be able to see
her or physically touch her, but she is there with you.
I am not sure how long Franzi will be with me. He is "away" more than
he was a first. I think he is easing my transition to being alone. At
the beginning he was always with me. I felt his warmth. At times I
see a fleeting shadow even now. Of course, when I turn and really
look, there is no one physically to see. And your Marion is with you.
Take comfort in the love that transcends all barriers. You can be sure
she is in our prayers, as are you. Blessings. Enjoy today - it is all
we have.

Del:

I just want to add my voice to the condolences here for you. I know
Marion was more than special to you. And I will be praying. Hold on to
the good memories. Not everybody has them. Blessings and peace,

I figured I'd wait to respond to this until it no longer moved me to tears.
Now I've decided it can't wait that long. I'm sorry to see you lose her, but
I can see you were blessed to share the time you had with her.

Hillary Clinton lambasted the 24-hour delay between the Cheney hunting accident
and his notifying the press. If asked why it took her 6 DAYS to notify anyone
about Vince Foster's suicide note, she'd say, "That's different, it took a
long time to forge that note convincingly."

I am happy you have this final momento of her love for you. You will
surely treasure it over the years. Like clifto, I was having trouble
thinking of this without tearing up.

Her love for you is obvious. May it bring you comfort.
