I have some sad news to share with the community. My wife Linda lost her fight with her illness a little while back. It's been a hard fought four year battle for her, but in the end her body just couldn't take the strain anymore. I wanted all of you to know that she thought the world of you.She marvelled at your models and figures and laughed at your jokes.
She would sometimes wait up for me when I'd get home from work just to read over my shoulder and to look at the pictures. I'm sorry it took me so long to post this here, but it's been a very hard time me.
thank you all
Jerry and Linda

Jerry,

I remember you. You moved to Oklahoma from Louisiana right? I did not know about your wife's illness and very sorry to hear about her passing.

I know how you feel, I recently lost my Grandmother to cancer. But my Grandmother and Linda are both off in a better place and whenever God decides it's your time you'll be in a better place with Linda.

My condolences for your loss as well.

Jerry,
I know where you're coming from man. Last year I lost both my Grandparents, my youngest sister, and my mother-in-law all within 2 months. Hang in there buddy. There will always be an empty spot in your heart for Linda but YOU WILL see her again some day.

My condolences as well Jerry. it seems that no one has to go far to be touched by that dreaded disease, My mother thank God is a breast cancer survivor. Right now I have an uncle who is battling cancer in his lungs and heart, a colleague with a wife and 6 kids (one special needs) in stage 4 stomach cancer and 2 more co- workers with a wife and parent battling breast cancer. I am deeply sorry for your loss.

My condolences Jerry. That's a hard loss.
I believe she has her rest now and is somewhere illness don't exist.
I wish you strength!
