So sorry to hear of your loss. It is hard to imagine the loss felt when a person looses their mate. Someone said, "God gives us memory to that we can have roses in December." You have some wonderful roses to smell in this time of loss.

Larry, so sorry for your loss. How wonderful that you lived as you wished, and that as DoriC said, you packed so many memories into your 16 years.

I'll be thinking of you, try to take comfort in your blended and lovely family now.

Sleepy Boy wrote:Well, she was 62 Yrs. old. She loved to fish, camp, ATV ride, mushroom hunt etc. almost anything outdoors. She loved nature and all the "critters" here in Northern Mich. We traveled with our 5th. wheel for 4 Yrs. not having a house. We stayed out in the desert in Az. in winters, and came back to Mich. for summer. In between times she was having heart ablasion surgeries for atrial fribulation. We finally had to buy a house due to her health. She never complained. If you met her-you loved her. It was our second marriage, we met at a singles dance. She had 3 children & I had 3. We have 14 Grandkids & 1 Great Grand Daughter.We would have been married 16 Yrs. in April. She was an awesome wife & my very best friend. She loved life like no other person I ever met. She always worried more about others than herself. She would give anyone anything she had.I could go on almost endlessly, but I think you get an idea of what my "Rosebud" was like. Brenda-thanks for asking-it was good for me to tell you about her. Thanks, Larry..
Larry, I believe that you were so fortunate to have had these years with this wonderful woman. You've suffered a great loss, and there are no words to express my condolences. Thank you for sharing this with us.

My Thanks to all of you for the kind words, thoughts, and prayers. We had a beautiful Memorial service for Rosy yesterday. I'm back home now, and ready to start moving forward. Thanks so much.

Sending you a giant cyber hug. I'm so sorry for your loss. I know what a welter of emotions you must be experiencing. You miss her, you're relieved she's not in pain, you feel guilty about that, you miss her again.....

Hugs some more,
Barbara

If you can find a local grief group like GriefShare (sponsored by a number of churches of all denominations), you may want to attend. I find it helps me with the loss of my spouse. But most of the attendees are women. Men tend to come once or twice and then disappear.
