    My dear wife Joyce passed away in the night, whatever it was it was quick and not really expected. The hospital seemed to think the chemo was doing its job according to their xrays. So maybe the chemo had lowered her defences elsewhere. Doctor seems to think it was either a heart attack or an embolism.

    Not really sunk in yet though.

    I'm so sorry Mike. I, as I'm sure many others, are thinking of you.

    I wish there was something to say. Sincere condolences.

    Oh my goodness Mike, I am so sorry to hear. You must be in shock at the moment, but she was so lucky to go in such a quick way without pain & suffering.
    My condolences to you & thinking of you at this very difficult time..
    We are all here for you, any time you know that..;)

    :) Mike this says so much.. I find it a comfort..

    Do not stand at my grave and weep,
    I am not there,
    I do not sleep.
    I am in a thousand winds that blow,
    I am the softly falling snow.
    I am the gentle showers of rain,
    I am the fields of ripening grain.
    I am in the morning hush,
    I am in the graceful rush,
    Of beautiful birds in circling flight,
    I am the starshine of the night.
    I am in the flowers that bloom,
    I am in a quiet room.
    I am in the birds that sing,
    I am in each lovely thing.
    Do not stand at my grave and cry,
    I am not there.
    I do not die.....
