Update on Mike

Post by Dori. » Fri Feb 27, 2015 9:21 am

It is with much sadness that I write the news that my beloved husband, Mike, passed away peacefully on Feb.14th(Valentine's Day). I'm sure the oldtimers here see the irony in this date. What is even more ironic is that his special gift to me was that the 15th would be our 3yo granddaughter's birthday and would make me even sadder to have him go on her day. Mike passed at 11:55PM on the 14th. I hope you're all doing well and continuing to help each other with continued success. I'll always remember your kindness and generosity and when I'm able to, I'll peek in from time to time to keep an eye on you guys. Love, Dori

So sorry to hear of this, Dori. We've all worried that we would be hearing this news.

I am so sorry Dori.
I know how hard you worked looking after him. You are my inspiration in the caregiving I am doing.


And now it is time to look after yourself with just as hard a determination in honour of his memory.

Oh Dori, I am so sorry for your loss. Words are inadequate so I won't even try.
We love you both.

I'm sorry for your loss, Dori, and happy for your joy, one right after the other for you.

hold tight to the great memories you have of the love that you and Mike shared over the years, and he'll always be with you.

Sorry for your loss Dori. Please come back and visit from time to time... we will miss your great attitude and solid advice.

I like my ResMed AirFit F10 FFM - reasonably low leaks for my ASV therapy. I'm currently using a PR S1 AutoSV 960P Advanced. I also keep a ResMed S9 Adapt as backup. I use a heated Hibernite hose. Still rockin' with Win 7 by using GWX to stop Win 10.
