So sorry to read of Ron's passing.You gave him your all ,keeping him at home and caring for him with such dedication.Please take time now for yourself.
MaryinPA, I also posted on Coco's thread, but in case you didn't see it, I'm thinking of you and Ron and wishing you peace in this hard time and all God's blessings for the future.
Mary, I too posted on Coco's thread about Ron's passing. I am so sorry you have lost such a wonderful husband and friend. The days ahead will be grief filled, but you will get through them in your own way and in your own time. We'll be here when you need us. (((HUGS)))
I agree each of our lost loved spouses deserve their own thread. mary I also posted to you but wanted to say my profound condolences and sympathy to you and yours. may peace be with you. divvi
Dear Mary in PA I haven't posted in such a long time and am so sorry it has to be for this reason. Please know my heart goes out to you. You fought a difficult battle and for a good reason...love. What a terrific example you have been to those of us who are still struggling.
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. I am "taking one day at a time", and day one, today was the visit to the funeral parlor with DD#1. This afternoon DD#2 helped me clean out most of Ron's closet and call Purple Heart for pickup next week. Thought it would be easier with someone to help.
I am so sorry to learn of your loss. How kind of you to think of donating to others in need at this time. Please accept my wishes of comfort and peace.
I was just reading Coco's thread and I am also doing very well, better than I expected. I have made first contact with all the people that need to be notified. Social security and VA the funeral director did. Called the lawyer and after several questions about how to proceed he said I do not have anything that needs to go to probate and said I don't need him and to call if I have any more questions.
Today DD and I pick up the ashes. I will post the link to the obituary when it is ready.
Joan , when you figure out how to do Coco's * I also need one dated 7/24/14.
MaryinPA, lots of prayers for you. May God grant you the peace that passess understanding. Hope you can get some much needed rest. Glad that you are doing well.

Mary and everyone: I just typed in griecocares.tributes.com/obituary Ronald F. Myers It took me right there. We can leave a condolence in the memory book and/or light a candle. Grieco's is the name of the funeral home. Mary--wow--a PhD. And so handsome, too. There are just no words, but you and Ron are in my thoughts and prayers.
Mary, Your husband’s American Legion affiliation caused a small tug on one of my heart strings, for my father's family came from Litchfield County and I remember many happy childhood picnics in Riverton.
Ron was obviously an accomplished man and your and your children’s devotion show that he was much loved. Good for you for keeping him home and for your daughter for sticking with you in the day-to-day caregiving. I hope there is hope and light ahead of you.
Dear Mary, your husband passed just the day after mine. I am sorry I was too lost to tell you at that time, how very sorry I am for your loss also. Thank you for that nice obituary and God bless you Mary.
This morning I went to the AZ support group that I have attended for over 4 years. Many of them have lost a spouse and were very supportive. One comment made was one I read here on this site. That is to leave a bank account open with his name on it so I can deposit any checks that come with his name on them.
Dignity and intelligence just shine from his photo.
Sending you prayers and wishes for comfort. It sounds like you have wonderful support from family, friends, and your group. Blessings to all who reach out to others.
