Some very sad news

10 years ago

Well, after all health issues husband Dale has had, he passed away yesterday. Combination of lung, heart, diabeties and cancer. Just too much. He has had a severe cough unable to shake it, Took him to ER and they did everything. To ICU and a wonderful nurse, Eric took over along with Dr.s It was his time and he went peacefully. DD, and 2 GD. were there with me. He was 81 and we had just had our 60th anniversary. So just keep our family in your prayers and a big box of tissues around.
Thanks
Marie Gregory from ND

Nancy, Thank you for letting us know even tho it is such sad news. I bought from Josie from the first year that I got serious about daylilies. She always sent top quality plants and wonderful bonuses. I remember how thrilled I was that 1st year when I got 'Stars Over Alabama' in the fall and it bloomed for me that same season. She was such a nice person to deal with and yes, she will be missed.

Luvs, I'm just a lurker on this particular forum but I wanted to express that I'm sorry for your loss. I also wanted to let you know my MIL & FIL had donated their bodies to science as well. My one brother in law attended the ceremony that was held by the medical students to thank the families of the donors. He said it was particularly moving because the students told the families that they thought of the the donors as their teachers because they learned so much from them. And in our situation, my MIL was a teacher herself when she was younger, so this made us all so very happy knowing she would have loved to hear that. Wishing you strength during this time. ~Bee

Donna, The story of your nephew touched me before I even read your posts. It was one of those awful things one hears on the news . . . hard to comprehend how something like that can happen . . thinking of the family and friends left behind, and how traumatic to deal with something like that, then I was reading your post, and thought, OMG . . . that sounds exactly like the accident I heard about locally. My heartfelt sympathy to you and to Sean's family. What a tragedy beyond words. There was a lovely article in this morning's paper about Sean, and how some of his students had a special yoga session yesterday in his memory. What an incredible young man . . . the article also told of how he'd let his hair grow long, then cut it off and donated it to cancer victims. Just glimpses into this young man's life. There was an Optimists Creed quoted that the article said that he held dear, . . . "Promise yourself . . . to be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble." What wonderful words . . . Through your posts . . . through the newspaper article . . Sean has become much more than a "statistic", which seems to often happen when one doesn't know the family or situation directly. This senseless death has certainly affected people in this area . . . kind of a stunned disbelief that something so freakish can happen on our freeways . . . the kind of thing that it could have happened to anybody . . . that it did happen to this incredible young man with so much to give our world . . . And, this, on the heels of another very tragic, senseless death locally . . . that of a young 25 year old policeman, shot while assisting another officer with a routine traffic stop. He leaves behind his young widow, and two month old son. So terribly sad . . . as someone said while watching the funeral, and his widow holding their precious baby, the little guy has no idea how his little world has been so completely rocked . . never to be the same. Totally different situations, but two young lives snuffed out way before their time . . . Again, my thoughts are so much with you and Sean's family . . . May you all find the strength to get through all of this . . Please know that many thoughts and prayers are with you . . . Chris

My sincere condolences on your loss. Like my first DH,I had the consolation that he had so many problems, that the Lord thought that enough was enough, and HE spared him more physical problems and deserved well earned relief.

You have the comfort of knowing that you stood by him and your marriage vow - " Till death do us part". A job well done.

Here's another wish for you, Marie. My deepest condolences to you and your family. I'm glad he passed peacefully.

Just read that you two enjoyed Big Bang Theory together. That's good. When health is failing, little things like an amusing TV show can mean a lot. You'll always think of him when you see the show. Hugs to you.

Marie-I am so sorry to hear this. I can't imagine what you are going thru. At least Dale is no longer suffering. My Dad has cancer and hospice has been coming to their house. He is 79 and next June would have been their 60th anniversary. My Mom is really struggling emotionally during this rough time. It so nerve-wracking day to day. Please remember to take care of yourself and just take things day by day.
