So very sorry for your loss. You both fought for a long time. Peace and prayers for you and your family.

Marsha, I am so sorry to hear about Tom. I'm glad he was able to be at home, surrounded by his family for his last moments. You both fought so hard against this, I hope you realize what a blessing it was for him to have you with him.

I'll keep you and your family in my prayers.

Oh Marsha,
I'm so sorry for your loss! I've been following your story for quite some time now. I am glad he was surrounded by love in the end. I will keep you and your family in my prayers!

Oh Marsha, I've only just popped back onto here and I'm saddened to hear the news about your DH. Such a brave man and faught hard through your strength for him.

I do hope you found the grace and dignity you so wished for your DH on his passing, I know you will have.

Thoughts go out to you and your girls, even though its been a little longer for me to reply

I am just seeing this and I am so very sorry Marsha

. Sadly, I don't get to this board as much as I should, but I have tried to followed some of your threads about your brave battle. Your soul mate, Tom, was a true example and fought such a long and heroic battle with you by his side all the way

. My heart truly goes out to you as I send prayers for strength, peace and hope, during these difficult days for you and your family. Godspeed your family dear, may Tom rest in peace as he smiles and guides you all from above.

Marsha,
I like others have followed your story over time.

Having you and your girls there with him at home comforted all of you, I am sure.

Know that you and your family will be in my prayers.

WebmasterKathy · 11-09-2009, 06:02 PM

Marsha- I continue to pray for you and the girls every day.

Deesknee · 11-20-2009, 01:15 PM

Marsha, You just popped into my mind, so I said an extra prayer. Thought I'd let you know the prayers didn't end when Toms struggle did. Hope you are feeling all the prayers going your way still.

Oh my, I certainly haven't been here enough lately. I had no idea you were going through this as you wrote a sweet note to me regarding my mother's passing. It is truly amazing how coping will bring out the compassion. It certainly did in the short time my mother had, and the perspective is one which I believe can only be shared by those who've lost a close loved one.

My loss was so profound to me, yet I've always felt it could be much worse with loss of a spouse or child. I apologize for the tunnel vision, and more profusely for your loss. I haven't started reading the story, not sure I want to, but 5 years sounds to me like both a curse and a blessing.

I do remember noting a couple sigs with Dizzers who had passed and how sad it seemed that someone who lived the joy of DW/DL should be forced to part with it...and now we deal more directly with it.

I will not pretend to have great words of comfort and wisdom. I just hope his legacy will be carried on as I feebly attempt to carry on my mother's.

Peace,
Mark

I have not been on this part of the boards in a long time so am just now reading of his passing. I am so sorry.

kimis · 01-17-2010, 07:18 AM

I was away for a while and had no idea. I am so sorry for your loss and I will keep all of you in my prayers.
