She was a real amazing woman even in sickness. Just last November after her massive surgery, she won 5th in the world at the World Appaloosa horse show. Two weeks before she died she had us all whip the farm into shape while she rode her ZTR mower. One week before she died she made decorative hangings out of things she had purchased years before but never completed. Two days before she died she repainted the mailbox and made me replace the reflectors. Her last day she didn't have enough breath to accomplish anything so she left us.
She died very peacefully. She just breathed slower and slower and stopped.
A very good thing after all her tribulations. I was afraid it would be super ugly toward the end and that never happened.
Jeff, Words can not express how sorry I am for your loss.
I would like to perhaps give you short example of the impact for good these situations can have.
I did not know your wife was I'll, so this thread caught me a little of guard. Myself being a devoid of emotion kind of guy was actually moved to deep emotion by the thought of loosing my own wife. As I read your simple post and imagined your wife in your arms, I was damn near moved to tears. I went into my bedroom where my wife was still sleeping and put my arms around her and proceeded to tell her all manner of loving things. (something I am not in the habit of doing often, and should be). Needless to say, We are often inspired to be better people through the deeds and lessons of others.
I would like to thank you and your wife for having that kind of positive impact.
Jeff,
Deepest condolences on your loss. It sounds like you and your family had a good grasp on the important things in life and made your time together count. God bless you and your family.
Jeff, I am so sorry for your loss.
It sounds like you were both very lucky to have each other. Please find comfort in the fact that she left this world in the arms of the person who loved her and knew her best, that had to have been so comforting for her. We are all here for you if you need anything.
Jeff, I can't even begin to express my sympathies. It sounds like you and your wife made the most of what you had, and that is a gift to be cherished. My sincerest condolences.

Jeff,
Both of your posts in this thread choked me up, especially the second one. She sounds like she was a very strong woman, and lived life to it's fullest to the very end. I hope that you can do the same. My prayers are with you and your family.
Jeff: its time to celebrate that wonderful woman's life...please share some more stories with us about your loving wife. i believe nathan said it best. your post has inspired me to be a better husband....much like PMUM's death inspired me to spend more time with my parents and my kids.
i, for one, would love to hear more stories about her...so long as it is not a burden on you.
