I just want to thank everyone for their heartfelt messages and PMs. It means so much to me to know that you care.

Now I know why I posted this message.

Without getting into the gritty details, I can say that my beautiful wife's death came as a great shock. She was in alot of pain and did what she had to do. She never said bye to us.

I still love her.

Tomorrow is the funeral. I wrote her obituary from 4 to 7 AM. I hope I can deliver it well.

Again, thank you all. I have rough road ahead but I will do my best. I owe it to my three precious gifts. Thank god for my friends and family.

Sorry for making this about me.

I will answer the PMs as I can. Maybe this weekend. I really appreciate them.

Thank you all again. This really really hurts but we will get through it.
Don't know where to start, so incredibly sorry to hear this, Dave. Time can heal anything, just hang in there and be there for your kids.

Thoughts will be with you and your family, and for as much as it hurts you, I hope your wife found a better place.

Best wishes to your family.

-Jack

I can't imagine that.
While I have also had my share of loss, I've always had my wife with me through life's joys and struggles.
You seem to carry faith, and I hope that faith buoys you through this time of struggle.

God watch over you.

Dave, Patsfan brother, your words just now were beautiful. Heartbreaking, heartfelt. Beyond the small bit of comfort I hope you may gather from your friends here on this site, I pray you also hang onto the strength you found to write these 3 sentences --

Dave -

It is hard to imagine the heartbreak you must be feeling. I hope that, in time, you and your children will be able to find solace in the memories of better times. You have a big heart and I know that you will find the strength to persevere.

Heartfelt condolences for now. Wishing you and your children all the best in the days to come. You deserve nothing less.

Andy

My wife passed away on Tuesday night in Boston. She was 36. We have 3 kids, 14, 12, and 8 years old.

We're all very devastated, of course. But we're hanging in there and the kids have been amazing. I'm also lucky to have several sets of supportive relatives, friends, and colleagues. So we're going to work our way through this eventually.

I just wanted to let you all know.

Dave

Sorry for the Loss.

You're a brave soul to expose yourself in such a way.

I hope that you're able to find the answers to the countless questions that will confront you.

I wish you the best.
