My wife

Bill_in_VA · 10-18-2020, 01:25 AM

Just a short note for anyone interested... My wife Wendy won her battle with ALS Thursday morning. It was a short, savage seven month fight. My heart aches. She was my best friend, my lover, my confidante, my wife, and so much more for the past eighteen and a half years.

Bill, I'm very sad to hear that you have lost so much. I can't even imagine how you must feel, but know you can take some solace from the fact that you were able to share your life with such a wonderful person, even though the time seems short.... That is the way with things, and memories are what's left as time goes by.. It breaks my heart, best to you Bill, and your family in this difficult time, til.....lat'r......GT
