I have lost my wonderful husband, Ron, this morning at 3 a.m. He went very quickly and very peacefully, thank God. He and Patty really were sharing the same journey, I just didn't realize how soon it would be. I am still in shock.
Love,
Lori
Oh my gosh Lori-
I am so sorry that this has all happened. You and Ron have certainly been through a very difficult time dealing with this disease. He is no longer in pain or suffering now.
My thoughts are with you during this very difficult and sad time.

Lori,
Even though you knew this day would come, it still seemed like you would have a bit more time together. What a huge shock to have it happen so suddenly. I'm so sorry and send you my prayers and heartfelt sympathy. As I posted to you before, Ron appeared to be a "salt of the earth" kind of guy and you were both so lucky to have each other to love. Blessings, Geri

Lori
How sad. The loss of Ron cannot be healed with words, nor can your pain be muted with sympathy. We will keep you and Ron in our prayers. Your continued postings during the last terrible months have been a source of strength for many here on the board, myself included. I am glad that Ron went peacefully. Grieve, Wail, Rant and shout if you want here about the tragic unfairness of it all.

Lori,
I am so sorry for your loss of Ron. You both went through so much and yet you have always been there for others on this board. He sounded like a strong, vital and full of life man and you sound like an amazing wife and partner. I know you will miss him deeply. I hope that this board can continue to be a source of caring and understanding for you.

my heartfelt sympathy. I am watching my husband of 32 years wilt before my eyes. He too had tongue ca dx in 05 and recurred in aug 06 and again nov 07 and most recently infiltrating to FOM and in skin and bone of oral cavity. I just look at him wondering how long we have together. So painful for him, i pray he just go to sleep.

Lori,
Sorry for you loss. Please feel free to come here and get the support you need any time you want. We all understand the loss and how this next year will be. So we are here for you.
Take care.. Diane
Thank you all again for your kind words and a special thanks to the ones who took the time to add a message to Ron's memorial site. It's coming up on 8 weeks now, and I swear it still feels like it was yesterday most of the time. We are slogging through, though. I am now up in central WI. with our oldest daughter. She and her husband just bought a home, so I am trying to help with furniture, painting, etc. It gives me something to do. I know I can come here for support and frequently do. I also will try to stay around to help those who I know will be coming here newly diagnosed.
Nancy, I can't PM you, I am wondering how Steve and you are coping. Please PM me if you need support. My prayers are with you.
Lori
I'm sorry lori. This is so hard to hear. Please take care of yourself now.
Lori,
We are all so very sorry to hear about Ron. I will be sending up lots of prayers.
