RIP to one of the good guys

1 month and 2 days ago my husband lost his fiercely fought battle with pancreatic cancer that had metastasized to his liver.  We were married for 35 years, lived together for 6 years before that.  We were each other’s chief supporter and best friend.  And we raised 4 great children together.  He was a loving husband, wonderful dad, great friend to many and a good citizen.  And he made me laugh more than anyone I’ve ever known.  We miss him terribly and always will.  RIP Rich Delanoy.

Your loving wife Marion Delanoy
aka marindenver

But there’s a war on out there.  So I’m climbing back in the saddle.

My condolences…  I lost my wife seven years ago.  It gets easier.  Glad to hear you will continue the fight.

I lost my mom 7.5 years ago to multiple myeloma. I can still hear her singing the “Mickey Mouse Club” song to me. Shit.

Hugs, Marion. The sharp edges get softer, but never go away.
