My heart is broken. My soulmate, light of my life, is gone from this Earth and all it's pain and suffering. She is reborn into a new life of wholeness and is at peace with the universe, in the loving light of God. May He hold her in His loving arms and protect her for eternity.

She is dancing among the bright stars right now, enjoying the peace. My sincere condolences to you, and may you find strength in memories of your happy days together.
Joe, my heart goes out to you. I could tell in your postings through the months that you are a very special husband, and a very special man. Your dear wife is at peace now. Your heart will heal as time goes by. Please know how much she loved you, and you her, and that you were a wonderful caretaker for her.
Joe, Mary Ann is at peace now, you were a great husband and caregiver to her now she will want you to take care of yourself and I do believe we will be renited with our loved ones when the time is right. hang on to your friends here, that is what I do when times get bad for me. Gail
Dearest Joe, Mary Ann's journey is over, and she rests in Heaven with the angels. Please take good care of yourself. The days ahead will be hard, but you are strong. You have proudly earned your *. You did a great job taking care of Mary Ann, and now she knows. Keep in touch, Joe. Much love. Di
Sweet brother, TJ, I was so sad to read yoiur post about your Maryann. I'm right there with you - still mourning the loss of my Foster. So many of our loved ones are leaving us right now, it seems. It's even more difficult during the holiday season.
I know your empty feeling. I told my girlfriends that if they placed their hands on my chest over my heart, I was sure they'd get blood on their fingers. It hurt that much...so I do understand. I will also mention that with me, the first week now is a blur. I know I received friends, went to the funeral home and walked and talked, but the memory of those times is like remembering a dream now. Just take it a day at a time..like I remind myself. ..and, let's see, ...if I can remember the directions on how to walk. It's left foot forward...then right foot forward...then left foot forward. It will come back to you in a few days, but you might want to keep a little note pad in your pocket in case you forget.
I'm lovin' you, TJ... Only your friends on this site AND GOD know what all you've been through and what a wonderful husband you've been to MaryAnn. Somehow, the men should deserve two stars in their crowns ( like this: * * ), because it has to be harder for your guys to care for your AD Spouses. You were STELLAR in your task. Everyone here saw that..and I'm proud to call you friend. Love,Nancy B
OH TJ, I am so very sorry to read of Maryanns passing. May God be with you during the difficult days ahead and please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you for peace and healing. Sue
Dear Joe, I am so sorry that life has handed you so much sorrow this year. You have been a good caretaker and a good husband to Mary Ann. You have gained so much strength and it will carry you through the coming days. Gourdchipper's post will bring comfort to you. It must be wonderful to hear the angels sing. Love you..
Joe, I so very sorry on the loss of your Mary Ann. May you find comfort knowing that we all love you and are sending you our prayers. No one could have done a better job in taking care of your loving wife as you did. (((Joe)))
Joe, I am so sorry for your loss. Cherish memories and also the posts of condolences on this site. I have been this way just a short while ago and our friends here are also family. I have printed off the condolences for me and will be saving them with the many cards I recieved and share with my personal family and friends.
TexasJoe, we are sending our profound condolences. during the days ahead may you reflect on the love and peace that will now accompany Maryann now that her journey has ended. and that your lifetime of memories you have together give you comfort. divvi
My deepest sympathy to you on the loss of your wife. Another star has lite up in the heavens. I know she is at peace and I know your heart is broken, but know that you did all you could to give her comfort here on earth. My thoughts will be with you.
Dear Joe, I am so sorry you have lost your beloved Maryann. She is in a better place but I am sure her loss is overwhelming. I was always so very touched how much you loved her and how well you took care of her. You are marevolous and Maryann was a very lucky woman. Hugs.
Hi Joe, I am grieving with you. It scares me to death to think about these last times but your posts have been so good. I am glad you are so comforting to know that your soulmate is now happy and with full memory and functions. Let's meet for brunch some time and meet each other. Best wishes, bill
Joe I haven't been here long but send my deepest condolences to you. I am so sad for your wifes passing especially at this magic time of year. My best to you and yours.
This is a bittersweet time for you, TJ. On one hand you hurt so badly for the loss of Mary Ann, yet a part of you is glad she is finally free of the Dementia road. As hard as this is for you, hold fast to the good things about it. She is in a better place. She didn't suffer a horribly elongated passing. She will be with you always, in your heart and in your children. You have done your best always...and it was enough. Enough to see her through the Dementia trail and into the Heavenly Light. You were truly her White Knight and have now earned your *.
