My thoughts and prayers are with you.Huss,
MargaretI am new to the board, and didn’t know Tom’s story, but what a fighter he was. My mom died November 17th, so hopefully they have met each other and will be enjoying Thanksgiving in heaven together.
Hugs and love

Dear Mary,
I am so sorry to hear that Tom has passed. I haven’t been on this site very long, but you always have a kind word to say to me. You were such an awesome wife and caregiver to Tom. I hope that gives you comfort to know that you did everything you could for him. I am glad he went peacefully. God bless you, Mary, as you face this difficult and sad time. I will be thinking of you and praying for you to find peace.Love,-Pam
Dearest Mary, no words can describe what I am feeling for you and your family. Tom and Teddy ran pretty neck and neck and you bet they are together sharing a plate of Lasagna. Tom & Ted 2 of the very, very best. And you are right in that some of the emptyness comes from being fired from our jobs as Care Takers. Just know that I am cyber sending love and prayers to you and your family.
If I should be the first to go,
And leave you alone, my Dear,
Let not your heart be lonely,
Nor in your eyes a tear.
Grieve not for me, my Darling,
I’ll not be far away,
With petals of love and tenderness,
I’ll pave for you the way.
To join me in our sanctuary,
And ne’er again we’ll part.
Grieve not for me, my Darling,
I live within your heart.
Take joy again in living,
As you did in years gone by;
God knows what of he’s doing,
And not be questioned why.
Grieve not for me, my Darling,
My life with you on earth
Each moment filled with happiness,
And love so few be worth.
I’ll be waiting for you Sweetheart
Where skys are ever blue,
With eager heart and open arms
Patiently, for you.
Grieve not for me, my Darling,
May faith and my love keep.
Your soul filled with contentment
Eternally, I sleep.Oh Mary, I am so sorry for your loss. We have lost 2 of our Tom’s in the past few day’s.
He did put up a good fight and got a lot more time than he was told, but no matter what we are told we are never ready for it when it actually happens. It is good that he wasn’t in pain and passed quickly. He no longer has to fight this battle and he will always be with you in your heart and memories. Know that I am thinking of you and your family.With Love & Hugs,
Darla
