Marye's life journey ended on Friday, March 1, 2013. It was very peaceful and quiet. I don't know if she could hear or feel anything, but if so, it was me, holding her hands and telling her that I love her. Right before 8 a.m., she took her last breath, and was finally free from pain.
She and I were married for nearly 22 years, and we had the same ups and downs as any married couple. But the truth is, she was my best friend and the light of my life. I often told her that she was the most beautiful person that I ever met, and I'll never know anyone who is more caring and gracious as she. She touched everyone who knew her, and I miss her terribly.
I'd like to thank everyone who has offered their kind words and support over the course of Marye's illness. It meant so much to both of us that she had so many people who cared for her. Since her passing, I'm continuing to receive many messages of support, and I appreciate each one. I'm so grateful that I had her in my life and that I was able to be with her throughout this ordeal, right to the very end.
