Re: Lost My Best Friend, My Wife
Bob you have my prayers and sympathy. I lost my wife Judy in 2016 after 32 blessed years of marriage. It's a hard pill to swallow. I hope you have family and friends to support you. Reach out for help or to talk as much as needed. Don't withdraw and handle it alone. God bless your wife Dodie may she RIP. Take care of yourself Bob.

Re: Lost My Best Friend, My Wife
We just got back from, Bob, Farlow's wife's Funeral: at the place she was; into the grave. Bob and is wife; were all loving to me for long times! So we went there: and He came up to me; and we both cried. Because such long time; that we knew ever! And Bob's Pastor: really talk of Jesus. And that's great!
We had to go: when the Pastor's espouses Ended; because the way we have to go; would be in horrible Traffic rides beginning 5:00 clock through 7:00. But, I know that Jesus will rest her Soul. Because she was a Born Again Christian as Bob; and his children. And my prayers: would be to Jesus, to help them. And He would I'm Sure, AMEN!

Re: Lost My Best Friend, My Wife
Thank you Carl, and Dixie, for joining me and my wonderful family today at Dodie's funeral. I will always remember what a blessing it was to have you there. I also thank all who posted here in "Gone Home", because each post was a genuine heart-felt message of tremendous care and love. May God bless each and every one.

Re: Lost My Best Friend, My Wife
The song "You Are My Sunshine" popped in my mind, and I changed just a few words about how I feel now since she has departed this life.
"You Were My Sunshine":
You were my sunshine
My only sunshine
You made me happy
When skies were gray
You'll never know, dear
How much I loved you
Please don't take
My sunshine away
