luvmydog2 Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 No Ginny. This can't be. Another good man lost to this disease. I am sorry to hear that. Earl fought a good fight and you were a great caregiver. The one thing that we do know is that he is now at peace. Will be praying for the family for the time ahead.

Debaroo Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Oh, Ginny, I am so sorry....so very, very sorry. When I saw the title of your post it just made my heart sink. You and Earl were quite a couple. A fine example of what marraige should be. Earl has now begun a new book, and I am sure that he will devote many chapters remembering the love the two of you shared here on Earth, and the love he shared with his family. I am sure that he still can feel that love. It is so wonderful that he was able to die as he lived, surrounded by love. Please accept my sincerest condolences.

jean44 Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Ginny, I, like Alisa do not post much but try to come on everyday to read up on how everyone is doing. I have always made it a point to read your post. The love between you and your husband is absolutely heart warming. I was also a caregiver for my Dad whom we lost in Oct. 2004 to lung cancer. I know the pain of losing someone to this dreaded disease. My heart aches for you on your loss. How lucky you and your husband were to have each other. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless, Jean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
