Sorry for your loss, Drifter. I lost my best friend to tongue cancer. By far, the hardest thing I've had to witness.

Death is such an impossible feeling to comprehend especially when it happens so close to you. I lost my steelheading hero (my father) and it was very difficult to accept. I think about him every day but I can tell you that time has a way of tyding things up. I don't know you but feel for you. Hang in there and be supportive for your family. Maybe someday you will both look back at it as a memory.

Thanks, again for all the kind thoughts


My 2 sons lost a great mother, my 2 daughter in laws, lost a lady that was welling to help, to share thoughts and ideas, my 4 grand kids lost a grandmother that so loved each of them.....my g/f, then wife of more than 48 years, the very rock of my foundation, is now in "that better place", no more pain and suffering.


Barbara "Barb" ..... 8/31/1940 ---- 1/09/2011....rest in Peace!!!!!!!

What a beautiful memorial service today for Bill's departed Barbara. The rains abated and the clouds parted to reveal the blue heavens. A finer stage could not be set for a final farewell and celebration of the remarkable life of a woman and the loving family she leaves behind... delivered with a bit of light priestly humor.

It was the first funeral I've attended in four years... and a bit overwhelming to be immersed in the presence of God after becoming "disenchanted" many years ago. No surprise that the most moving part of the service (at least for this red-necked Ornamental) would come in the form of a country song I've heard a hundred times before. Listening intently to the lyrics on this solemn occasion really left a lump in my throat. The words really spoke to me, as I'm sure they did to anyone else actually listening. I will be reminded of Bill and Barb EVERY time I hear it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCvgXw-Bh04&ob=av2el

Why did she have to go
So young I just don't know why
Things happen half the time
Without reason without rhyme
Lovely, sweet young woman
Daughter, wife and mother
Makes no sense to me
I just have to believe

She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and past where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me

Loved ones she left behind
Just trying to survive
And understand the why
Feeling so lost inside
Anger shot straight at God
Then asking for His love
Empty with disbelief
Just hoping that maybe

She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and past where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying
Don't worry 'bout me

It's hard to say goodbye
Her picture in my mind
Will always be of times I'll cherish
And I won't cry 'cause

She flew up to Heaven on the wings of angels
By the clouds and stars and passed where no one sees
And she walks with Jesus and her loved ones waiting
And I know she's smiling saying

Don't worry 'bout me
Don't worry 'bout me
Don`t worry 'bout me


Bill, from all the responses on this thread it should be obvious that you have the support of many people amongst our Piscatorial brotherhood (yeah that technically includes Aunty and ltf365, too) that are pulling for you. Hope to see you back in the swing of things as the rivers come back into shape. It's what Barb would want for you. Until then, the water waits.

Take care and God Bless!

Doc:

Again many thanks for starting this thread.....all the response have been read, both by me and my 2 sons.

It really was special to see you both in the church and the "get together" afterward.

Thanks so much for the comments "on the song".....normally the Catholic Church doesn't allow, "outside" music but Father Dave listen to it and was moved, so it was allowed into the service. I, myself, had not heard the song until last week....was channel surfing, and ended up of the Western channel......I just knew this song was so appropriate, both for me and my 2 sons.

It's been a long 2 weeks, since Barb died.....now is the time for "closure to begin"....

zoooooooom as the jetboat, will again be in action !!!!!!!!!

Sorry for your loss. I'm sure you are celebrating her life in our world, and will remember her in all the beauty that still exists. The pain of loosing a loved one is a testiment to the love that you hold together.

A favorite country song "Remember When" was playing in my operating room a couple days ago. Alan Jackson's understated delivery makes for ballads that really touch the heart and soul of the listener... in ways that simply defy words.

Music has an inexplicable power to take a guy back in space and time, and nothing does it better than a country ballad. Earlier today, another AJ ballad playing on the radio stopped me in my tracks.

As another stormy January is about to be ushered out the door, I can't help but "remember when".... and my thoughts are with my friend Bill. Luv ya, man.

Doc......

Many thanks for remembering....... I'm sure Barb is looking down, time goes by to fast.....7+ years already

Barb definitely the perfect wife, a great mother, awesome home maker...I was indeed a lucky guy to meet that girl from Custer South Dakota while Seattle World Fair was going......married in 1963, 48 wonderful years.....best part not many conflicts in those years.

I cry............Thanks again for the memories!!!!!!!!!!!
