Welthy Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 I can hardly grasp the concept, but the love of my life passed peacefully early Friday evening. He was surrounded all day by our loving family and died with my beautiful daughter and I holding him while my brother stood protectively over us. Tony now breathes with no effort for eternity. God bless him, for earth has never beheld a more determined cancer fighter. I know he and I will be together again someday. I'm so lost and want to thank all of my dear friends here for their endless support. God bless us all. Welthy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
