    So sorry Tina
    I am so sorry for the loss of your Geoge (soulmate) may he rest in peace. ! will be thinking about you and I thank you for letting us know how George was feeling in those last few days. Being by his side must have made his passing so beautiful especially when he said he loved you so much.

    Thank you for your post at this grieving time and it was a comfort to me knowing that you can go peacefully when the time comes.

    Best wishes and hugs to you Tina.

    Dear Tina
    Tina,

    I did not mention this yesterday, but I remember a time when you 'knew' there would come a time...but you said it was not then:)

    I knew it sounded rough from what you described in your last post, but still it was a shock to wake up to this news. I am so sorry for your loss and you were an absolutely tremendous caregiver in every aspect of the definition.

    I plan on reading my wife this post, so she can see true love being played out between two loving individuals who really cared for one another. That's certainly not to be underestimated...I've seen that kind of love here between many of you...

    ...it tells me that it is out there in that form...and it's been a beautiful thing to bear witness to during my time on this forum...a true gift if ever there was one.

    You did everything right - all the way down the line. You took care of him in sickness and in health...and you shared a great life together and built many wonderful memories...even at the end, when he told you he loved you.

    It's a love story...thanks so much for sharing it.

    I can't imagine what you must be feeling right now. Thank you for taking the time in your grief to post the news to the community. We remain sorrowful right along beside you.

    You will always be welcome here! WE love you!

    -Craig

    Oh Tina, I'm so very sorry

    Oh Tina, I'm so very sorry to hear this terrible news. My heart is just aching for you right now. Take comfort in that he passed peacefully in your arms and that his last words were that he loved you dearly.

    With much sympathy,
