I'd like to take a moment to apologize to anyone I may have been sarcastic or snarky with in the past few days. My wife died rather unexpectedly last Thursday while sitting next to me on our loveseat. I called 911 and my son and I performed CPR on her for about 10 minutes before the EMT's arrived on scene. The worked on her for over 30 minutes and then transported her to the ER. On the way she coded 4 times and the hospital is only 15 minutes away driving the speed limit. They finally restarted her heart but by then she'd been oxygen starved for way too long. She went into complete kidney failure and then all of her organs began to shut down. My kids and I told her goodbye and the official TOD was 1:12pm on Friday. I know that's not the real TOD and that she passed peacefully during a nap with me and my daughter close by. So please excuse any comments that I've made lately that may have been offensive to any of you. I hope you understand. Thanks

 

I am so sorry, Rube. I pray God's peace and strength for you and your family.

 

Praying for you and your family constantly!

 

Thank you, Guys. I appreciate the prayers. I KNOW she's all right. She just got tired of so many years of pain and wanted to be rid of it. Now, she is. Once I figure it out, I'll post a pic of the beautiful urn that our son picked out for her. She's on the mantle in my den now. HOME.

 

We've already spoken, Rube..
Glad I had the opportunity to meet her after speaking with her so many times on the phone.....

My prayers are with you and your family

Love you

 

My condolences.

 

I pray the Lord gives you and yours comfort through this time of bereavement.

Thank you so much derf. Love you, buddy.

 

I am so sorry to hear that Rube. Your wife may be gone but she will live in your heart forever. My sincere condolences for you and family,.
