Midwestern Members - Life really SUCKS sometime!

Today I buried my wife, my best friend, my lover, my equal, my wife.
Its been a long ten year battle. One that I / we thought she would win. Not to be. There's a saying out there that cancer can not cripple love, shatter hope, corrode faith, eat away peace, destroy confidence, kill friendship, shut out memories, silence courage, reduce life, quench the spirit or lessen the power of resurrection. I know one other thing cancer can not do; and thats take away your dignity. My wife went out on her terms, at home surrounded by family and friends and fighting till the very end. Standing by my wife all these years I know thats important. No matter what your fighting, keep ahold of as many of those things mentioned above and dont let go of hope.

She was a strong women. She had to be, being married to me, fighting cancer and losing our daughter almost four years ago. I will miss her deeply. After 27 years together it will hurt along time. I have another hole in my heart. My girls are gone from me but they are together once again. They are whole and at peace. They are one again.

I wont make this a long post, Im too tired. I just wanted you to meet two of the most beautiful souls that I have ever known. My wife and daughter. Sheri and Alyssa

I think its going to be a long cold winter...

I'm very sorry for your loss, hope to meet you at an event at some point.

I am so sorry Jesse. I don't know what to say, I've haven't been married that long but I couldn't imagine going through that. I'll keep you in my prayers, if there's ANYTHING you EVER need please don't hesitate to ask.

I will keep them in my prayers. Be strong friend and I wish you the best. Sometimes God can be selfish and will take the good ones early for himself. We're all here for you.

I did not want to quote anyone, but he hit the nail.
Very sorry bro.

Its funny how this world works... sometimes make you question everything.. why the good one have to go so early... but things happen for a reason..

Be strong, keep hope, dont give up...

You're definitely in my thoughts and prayers. Take comfort in knowing that so many of your fellow car buddies are thinking about you during this difficult time. I'm glad you felt comfortable enough to share this with everyone....letting others pray for you is a powerful tool.

Thanks everyone for your prayers and words of encouragement.
I sure wish we were heading into spring instead of winter. Theres something about an open roof cruise to clear the mind...

Sorry for you loss. I lost a grandmother to cancer and my grandfather has battled through cancer twice. I hope you can always cherrish the moments that you spent with her.

Sorry to hear such horrible news. Your in my prayers.

my prayers are with you brother. My aunt is in the hospital right now fighting cancer. It's definitely not easy. Hang in there.

sorry for your loss

Sorry for your loss. Cancer is a terrible thing to deal with.

Best Wishes,
Brent

Getting married this year and having an 8 week old newborn at home now, I can't begin to imagine being in your shoes. I truly wish you the best from the bottom of my heart. I can only hope that with time you will find peace and remember the love and happiness you shared with them both. Take care my friend.

Im very sorry to hear about your loss. I cant even begin to understand how it must feel. My buddy's longtime g/f died in a car accident a couple years ago... and I was there for him. It was hard enough for me, she was a close friend of mine. It seems like forever, but time will pass, and the ones closest to you will be there for ya in your time of need. It seems to me that ur ls1 guys are here for ya too. I'll keep you in my prayers!
-Andrew

I dont even know how to tell you how sorry I am to hear this. May God bless you with his grace and help you with your recovery.

Very sorry to hear this. I have never understood why some terrible things happend to good people. I can't imagine how you must feel, but as said keep your chin up. Hopefully with some time you will start to feel better.

Pete
