*~Lynne ~* May. 6th, 1958 To Feb. 17th, 2006~

About Me

I Am Widowed, My Late Wife Lynne Passed Away After A Long Struggle With Cervical Cancer On Feb 17th 2006. For 3 Years, I Watched Lynne, The Love Of My Life For So Many Wonderful Years Suffer From Some Degree Of Pain Or Discomfort Every Moment She Was Awake. Never Able To Do Any More To Help Her Than To Simply Be There For Her, Hoping It Would Be Enough. She Went From A Beautiful Woman Of 180lbs to 76lbs. I Believe That We Should Never Let The One Who Is So Close To Us Ever Wonder How We Feel About Them. Never Again Would I Hold The Hand Of A Loved One Departing This World, Hoping That They Truly Knew How I Felt About Them. We Should Never Take For Granted That The One We Cherish So Dearly, Knows How We Feel Toward Them. This Is A Common Feeling Among Us Who Has Had Our Loved Ones Taken From Us. But Sadly Enough, Far To Many Learn This Lesson To Late And Live With The Regret And Anquish So Long Afterward. In My Blog You Can Read Of Her Three Year Struggle And Of Her Passing, Also Is The Journal Of My Struggle Then And Now With The Grief, Pain And Sorrow Of Loosing So Much. So Thus As It Is Superstes MEUS ABYSSUSI Have Close Ties With Lynne's British Family. Lynne's Father Norman Died Of Cancer In 1984, Lynne's Mom Joan Lives In Somerset, England. She Was The Only Person In The World Who Could Get Lynne To Do Something That She Did Not Want To Do. She Has 4 Other Sisters: Gillian ~ Joanne ~ Karen And Katrina Who All Live In England. Lynne And I First Met In England While I Was Stationed There. We First Met On Nov. 10th, 1983 In A Pub Called "The Sailor's Pub", In Newquay, Cornwall England. We Were Engaged On Nov. 15th And Married On May. 19th, 1984. She Told Me Later That She Had Seen Me In The Pub 2 Weeks Earlier, And Had Decided Then That I Was The One For Her As I Was Walking Out Of The Pub That Night. A Hand Reach Out Of The Crowd And Took Hold Of Me And Said, "Ohy Mate, Sit Down, I Want To Chat You Up A Bit". We Were Still Married For 23 Wonderful Years Later.I Have A Daughter And two Grandsons and a Granddaughter. I Also Have 3 Sons Who Passed Away At Early Ages; Stuart (6Mo) ~ Sammy(1Year) And Alastair(11 Years). My Daughter And I Share A Very Special And Un-breakable Bond, For We Both Have Seen Life At It's Very Worst, Many Times. We Both Have Learned The Special Meaning Of Life From A Person Who Never Gave Up On Her Enduring Zest For Life And Always Keeping Her Very Special Sense Of Humor To The Very End. I Am Retired From The Service, Serving For 20 Years In The USMC And U.S Army. I Am Currently A Electronics Technician With A Communcations Company. I Have A Very Nice And Lovable 250lb English Mastiff Named "Lance" And A Very Lovable Beagle/Basset Hound Mix Named "Buddy" Who Are My Best Friends. We Love To Go On Long Walks Together.I Am Also Truly Blessed To Have The Most Beautiful Woman You Can Imagine, Lynne Awaits For Me In The World To Come. She Was My Dearest And Only Love For So Many Beautiful And Wonderful Years. She Is A Part Of Me And She Is Always In My Heart And A Part Of My Life Still.I Am Especially Blessed To Have A Very Special Friend In My Life, We Both Share A Very Special Understanding Of Each Other, For Having Each Endured The Loss Of Our Dearest Loved Ones. My Sons Stuart,Samuel And Alastair Their Precious Lives Cut Short. Lynne's Over A Painful 3 Year Period. And Her's, Her Mother, Her Father, Her Beautiful Daughter Mariesa And Her Eternal Soul Mate And Undying Love Coco. We Both Know How So Very Important It Is For Us To Show Those So Close To Us How So Very Special They Are To Us. For We Both In Our Own Unique Way Know Just How Very Short And Precious Life Is And How Tragically And Suddenly Death Can Tear Apart All That We Cherish And Believe In. She Will Always Be My Very Special Friend Of Confidence And Comfort. Even In Absence She Can Calm The Spirit, A Rare Quality In A Friend.This Site By Me, Is An Attempt To Let The World Know In An Open Friendly Manner, That At One Time, Invisible To Many, There Existed In This World The Most Beautiful And Wonderful Person You Could Ever Possibly Imagine. She Endured So Much During Her Life, And In The Years, Months, Weeks And Days To The End, But She Never Gave Up On Her Incredible Zest For Life, Her Enduring Will To Survive. She Was Always There For Her Friends And Family. She Left Behind A Legacy Of Lessons Of Life For All Who Knew Her Then, And For Those Who Came To Know And Understand Her Late. It Is Also A Site For Those Who Visit, To Get To Know Of Her And Us, So Feel Free To Be Her Friend As Late. You Never Know Who Might Just Pay You A Visit In The World To Come Some Day; An Angel With A Funny British Accent! If Only Just To Say Thank You. As I Do Now. Just Be Warned, Don't Ask Her If She Is Irish. A Brit And Irish Thing There.

Lynne Is My Hero, The Bravest Person You Can Imangine. Who Never Gave Up Hope And The Love Of Life, Even When The Pain And The Days Were The Darkest.

She Had A Very Powerful Chemo Treatment, Knowing It Could Kill Her As Well... It Did. ..
