Title: My wife
Post by: bigk on April 30, 2011, 04:39:39 pm
It's with the saddest of hearts to tell you all that my darling wife Toni lost her 7 year long battle with cancer in the early hours of this morning. I was with her as she left. This is the worst day of my life.

Deepest sympathies. No words are sufficient at a time like this. Cancer is odious disease but one against which we are slowly winning the war.

My condolences Michael.

I was the primary carer for both my parents until they died but I still can't imagine the pain and lost you must be feeling.  

But be strong as you know your wife would expect of you. It is 15 years since my Dad died and 4 years since my Mum died but they still give me strength and guidance each day.

Remember the good times Michael. Good luck mate.

My deepest sympathy for you and your family BigK. Having recently lost my Mother to this disgusting incepid disease, I feel your pain. With the the help of your loved ones and friends you will get through this dark time. If there is one cause that everyone should make a donation to, it's cancer research.

Toni was laid to rest in a moving, emotional and dignified service. The manner in which Michael conducted himself was nothing short of amazing. He wrote pretty much the whole service himself, despite going through the most unimaginable grief, and it was without doubt the most incredible tribute anybody could pay to their wife. The strength and courage he has shown is simply amazing. I take my hat off to him, and his and Toni's family for the dignified manner in which they have dealt with  this.
There was a special moment when Toni's doctor from the oncology unit who had treated her for the past 7 years performed a song, in french, with no backing.
Several people have commented to me that Michael should consider a career change from vintage bikes to writing after listening to his beautifully written readings !
