Oh Don,

My heartfelt condolences.

Don,

Very sorry to hear the news. I recall that time you sent me some drill
parts over to England with Mary. When I received them, I found a
warm-hearted note inside talking a little about winters in England and
Minnesota. I kept the note in my files because it was especially kind,
and I have it now, so I can see a glimpse of the person you've lost. My
deepest condolences. I know you're a fighting kind of guy, and I'll be
thinking of you.

Don, all I can say is that I am very sorry for your loss. The grief will
come and don't allow it to destroy you. That has happened to many after
the loss of a spouse, especially the true soul mate types.

If you need to talk I'm sure you have close friends and people nearby,
if that doesn't do the job there is always those of us on here.

She is in good company up there, I'm also sure she is telling all the
folks in charge to watch over you.

I felt that I knew her in a small way through your missives and I know I would have
been proud to know her in person...even if she would have out performed me on the
range. You are a very lucky man.

Hey Don,

I suppose even we on RCM should have been prepared, but this was a
shocker for me to read. I think for myself that your up-lifting
messages and "we'll-get-through-it" attitude recently may well have
white-washed the actuality and spared us the agony you both were in.

We can only hope that this short time was without the long drawn-out
pain over even years, and spared Mary a fate worse than........

Take care. Think of the good days, of which reading between RCM the
lines over the years were many.

Our prayers and condolences to you and all the family.

ps...please do post again soon. If RCM were to have no other good
purpose, venting here is a given and expected.

Don:

I am so sorry to learn this. While it is cold comfort,
clearly you and Mary did everything possible. You have my,
and I am sure the groups, best wishes for what is sure to be
a very difficult and trying time.

With sympathy and concern,

No one escapes the pang of a loss like yours. Many fewer
have the
joy of the memories you do.

Please have my sincerest condolences along with the
knowledge that
things will get better, just as Mary would want for you.

Don, I am very sorry to hear of your loss. May the many good time
memories of your many years together diminish the pain that you are
suffering today.

Sorry to hear this, and hope that you are bearing up as well

I think we all felt that way.

And we are the better for it.

My condolences and my thanks.

My condolences for your loss.

My thanks for you sharing the experience with us all. We all know how life
turns out, what makes the difference is what happens in between birth and
death, and you and Mary are examples of a full rich life.

You'll see each other again one of these days. Or at least, that is my
belief. In the meantime, she'll always be right there with you in your
heart, telling you to go right and not left, just as always.

Even fierce warriors get tired after a long battle. May she find some peace
and rest for a while, and find a good camping spot while waiting for you.

Here's some of my work:
http://www.sharpbywarner.com

I think this goes for all of us: You're handling it a hell of a lot better
that I would be at this juncture. You're a real man.

I'd say I hope you get back together real soon, but you don't get any early
outs in this life unless you're selfish. Ya gotta wait for your own bus.
But you do know in your heart that when your bus comes in, and they announce
it on the loudspeaker, that you'll be together once again, doing all the old
stuff, and possibly some new.

I read a real nice story the other day of a very young man (about 10), who
had a near death experience from a ruptured appendix. He met his little
sister who was lost to a miscarraige, and his parents never uttered a word
about it, nor did they know the sex of the child or even name it. He met
his Grandpa for the first time, too, and described him to a tee. He also
told his parents what rooms they were in, who they were talking with, what
they were saying, and which of the hospital's phones they had used,
something that he would have absolutely no knowledge about by any other
means. I believe him, and believe this is not "As Good As It Gets."

God Bless and keep you. You have my envy for your full life, having a
loving wife friend, lover, and partner, , and having a substantial belief
system.

Now, you better behave, because you have someone watching you.

Steve
