Dori, no more pain. Mike goes before us to prepare our path. Blessings on him.

Grief casts us out, bruised and battered onto the unknown shore.
As I find my way along my unknown shore, faith shows me the way, as it will for you.

As we all worked our way through the trauma of cpap and found our solutions,
we had some really good laughs. You helped me in ways you will never know.
Blessings on you.

...someday, you, JNK and me....rid'n the D line, downtown....for some laughs.

to see or feel those changes, you'll never know what you're capable of."

Oh, Dori, I'm so sorry to read this news. I'm thinking of you and your family and hoping you can all call upon one another to find the strength to get you through.

Please check in here periodically to let us know how you're doing (and to keep the guys in line when needed - nobody can do that like you). You and Mike have always been a part of this family, and we love and miss you. Do take care.

xoxo

Dori, I am so sorry to hear this news. It was not unexpected but still sad to hear. You and Mike were part of the sleep apnea family here and we have missed you but have been thinking about you, as you can see from the way this thread is going.
Mike had a tough time over the last years and now his suffering is over. I can be glad for that.
Take care of yourself, Dori and do come by from time to time to let us know how you are! We are thinking of you as you go through this hard time.

Dori, I'm thankful you allowed us to be a part of your lives. Mike truly gave a lifetime of service with his longstanding problems from the shrapnel. Your love for him empowered you to tackle and master new things like this world of CPAP. We in this community value your example. I hope you and Mike's story is in the Success Stories thread on the forum so wives visiting here in the future can read and be encouraged. Hugs to you sweet Dori.

Mike, finally you can get a good nights sleep without an alien strapped to your face and you are free from your various aches and pains.

Dori, the end of life celebration is always painful. I am sorry for your loss. Someday you will join Mike but for now you need to serve as a model for your grandchildren and the rest of your family. If there is anything I can do to help just let me know. You remain in my prayers daily.
