My Wife's Update

It is with deep sadness and a very heavy heart that I inform my fellow Statfox Den Members about my beloved wife Linda's passing yesterday. She fought a courageous battle for 1 1/2 yrs against this horrible disease called cancer. She remained stoic and dignant as ever up until the bitter end.
I will (do) miss her dearly and there is a deep void in my heart, but I know that all of her pain and suffering are now gone and that she is in a much better place.
She may be separated from me in a physical nature but I have 18 yrs of beautiful memories with her that can never be taken away.
Although I know none of you here in the Den personally, I appreciate those of you that have reached out to me with kind words, thoughts and prayers over the course of Linda's battle. Thank-you,
Mark

Mark, my deepest condolences. There is never a good set of words that can be expressed to console someone who has lost a loved one. The only thing that I can say or suggest is reflect on the great memories and treat this situation as more of a celebration of Linda's amazing life as opposed to her passing.

Best wishes.

-Justin

My sympathy

Mark,

Brought tears when reading this. I know life seems not fair at times. I have the sympathy in your loss. Your 18 years of memories are so special... She will be looking over you forever.

Amazing 12 years and how this forum shares personal items outside of sports. I have met folks here and really enjoy everyone here. Amazing how everyone comes together outside of sports.

PM me if you need to talk about anything.

I too, have not been around much this summer. So sorry to hear about your loss. Hard to cope with, for sure. Cherish the good times you shared with her. BOL Mark
