My sincere condolences, Peter. Wishing you strength for the upcoming times.

Thank you so much for your words Jim, they help me coping with my wife's passing.

My apologies for the late reply, but the past few days where rather busy

Indeed. A crown of glory in a heavenly mansion.

I do believe so Paul, and i have to say, after the funeral serevice i said goodbye to my admiral, and something slipt of my shoulders.
Over the past year, i had to take every time a bit more care on my shoulders, and i did this with love, but in the back off my mind, i was hoping that what i did was good, and that became a bit of a burden in my mind, but when i said my last farewell to my Admiral, that slipped away from me, so i believe that it was

Good

Good morning Peter. I am so sorry to hear of your Admirals passing. This is sad news indeed. May God grant you strength during your time of grief. Thinking of you. Cheers Grant

Grant, thank you for your words my friend, and during my last farewell to my Admiral, her brother brought a bottle of Ouzo, and we all said cheers to Marijke,
and we took a sip of the Ouzo.
This is a time of grief indeed, but on the other hand, i am so glad that she is away from her agony, because that is what it had become.

Cheers my friend, to Marijke
