Off of Niagara Falls?
 
Yup, Niagra Falls....stopped by and did a walk about. That day was a cold that went right through you. About 40 degrees and a brisk wind. Plus, as you can see....a lot of humidity in the air. All in all looking back on it, a nice trip.

Great setting for a picture, Niagra Falls I assume?

Yea, Niagra Falls. We spent the weekend between there and the Bills training facility and stadium. Great weekend even though I don't root for the Bills.

Foss - To my untrained eye, it looks like your wife was very content . . . I'm sure she felt you helped make her that way. Hopefully this sits okay with you to say, since I don't know you from Adam . . . possibly you can find some comfort in the fact that her pain was so momentary . . . possibly you can take comfort that you - the tough guy - can carry her pain so that she might rest.

Rock on.

Rick brother, no words can take your pain away, so I will not pretend they will.
Time which is your foe right now, will be your friend and lessen the pain down the road, never completely removing it, but we always want some to remain, so we may never forget those that mean the most.
Go with the flow, and ride it out.

Those were comforting words. So comforting that I sent them to my Wife at work. We lost our daughter Michelle on July 29. She was in the Air Force and just getting her life together. I also didn't want to hijack this thread but I am so saddened by the loss of your Marsha, Rick. We just passed through our first month. Life is very different.

Here is a picture of the three of us last Christmas.

Wife Jenn with Cheyenne on the left, Michelle with Kia, and me.

We lost our daughter Michelle on July 29
. Dang, mhrischuk, I cannot even imagine the pain of losing a child. So sorry. as I am for Rick as well. I wish I could offer something more, but I will pray for both of you.

Wow, I agree with Steve. That would indeed be a painful thing to lose a child. Our hearts go out to you mhrischuk.

I recall many years ago when we had a son in the Air Force and suddenly he got sick and the found cancer. We were told to expect the worst. Talk about a low blow! But we were lucky as was he. But just that we went through that period of uncertainty gave us a peek at what it would be like; pure Hell.

Me with my wife, Marsha on our front porch. Taken by a friend during a visit last summer. I've since lost all the facial hair and the (unseen) ponytail I had for ten years. I've also, sadly, lost Marsha. We found out she had cancer in mid-September, and she died on November 21st. That's why I've been so quiet on the forums lately. Rick

Rick, I am so sorry for your loss, I have lost several family members over the course of a year, can't imagine losing my wife, take care and God Bless.

WebWidow and I and the grand daughter today on the choo-choo at Look Park.

I used to have skinny arms, then I hauled wood stoves and boilers for 30 years...
:)
Old pic is "only" 32 years ago, and of me discovering Soy Ice Cream...(yes, true....)
