I remember you were an active poster and people liked you. I hadn't seen you around in a while.
I am truly sorry for you loss and while it may not help, be thankful for the wonderful times you two had together.

We had been appropriate, work-only friends for five years before I first asked her out and I admired and respected her greatly. I still do. Over the years I loved her completely. I still do. Thankfully, she knew that.

For those of you in good relationships/marriages, hang onto them and never take them for granted. Most of us retirees are of an age when things can happen unexpectedly and swiftly. Never fail to take an opportunity to express your love. You might lose it without warning.
I am so sorry.

So terribly sad. Condolences to you and her children, who must be equally stunned at the suddenness of it all.

You probably don't remember, but you were kind to me once when I needed compassion. I'm sure your wife treasured that quality in you as well.

So sorry to hear of your loss. What a shock. Have followed your story with your wife and was glad to see you two had reconnected again. Terrible that it did not last very long. Many condolences

I've noticed you haven't been posting (and missed your posts). So sorry to hear that this is the reason why.
