OT: Update on my wife...

45-70 · Post by **45-70** » Sun Jan 06, 2008 8:41 am

With much help from all your prayers, my good wife passed from this earth quickly, painlessly, and peacefully @ 12:53pm December 27th, 2007 in our home family room with my son and myself at her side. A Hospice nurse was in attendance as a legal witness.

The memorial service and graveside went very smoothly. My son is making his way back to college in Rexburg, Idaho with his mother's car making great time.

I'm here doing quite well. My faith and memories of her deliverance from the long 8 year battle sustain me wonderfully. No more suffering, no more chemo treatments, no more long doctor's appointments. I counted over 65 chemo teatments and 183 doctor appointments over the last 3 and a half years.

Again, many thanks for your prayers and support over this very trying time in my life.

What a precious resource this site is! My thanks to Paco and all who manage it...I'll be a regular contributor and support to all who are passing through their own trials. May the Lord bless you all...

Sincerely,
Richard H. Sim (45-70)
Mt. Vernon, Ohio

Richard,

It is with a heavy heart that I read of your wife's passing. Sadness is a proper feeling and the start down the road to understanding.
I will celebrate your wife's contributions to the world. And the many happy memories she created throughout her life on this earth.
I will rejoice in the knowledge that she sits with the Almighty and basks in His Glory. Be safe in the knowledge that one day when He chooses. You will be rejoined in eternal life with the one you so love.
May God Bless you and yours

Jim Sanders

Richard, it's always sad to hear of someones spouse passing away, particularly when one reads words such as you posted about your wifes suffering, and trials the family has gone through while you waited for a better outcome. You sound like a strong man who can accept big setbacks, but I will pray that your grief passes quickly. It really helps you that you have some faith and understanding in all this. Bruce
