Dear Bette,
I am deeply sorry for the loss of the love of your life. He had endured so much and I am glad that he passed peacefully. No one should ever have to go through what he did, and you by his side. I will hold you in thought, close to my heart, that you find some peace and comfort each day.
Please come back here for support.
Sincerely,
Kerri
