Very sorry to hear of your loss... I can’t imagen how difficult it must be. There is nothing anyone can say to ease the pain but take comfort in knowing that the pain you feel now will soon turn into wonderful memories shared by both of you...

I lost my wife in 2013 & think of her every day.......she too liked the Corvettes. I carry a small picture of her in my "01 Z all the time.
Right now, it's a tough road for you, time will help as they say, the memories will be forever. Take that ride in the car and even talk
to her if that will help. Bless you.

Unfortunately today few people know the true joy of having a life mate. Doug, remember the good folks here are sending you their positive thoughts, and will be ready if you need them. You and Cheryl are in our prayers.

Very sorry for your loss. ‘Til death do us part’ is a vow that not many are able to experience. But it’s a testament to your love and dedication to each other. Cherish the memories.

I'm just checking in again.

From time to time my wife will look at me and say "Blake (our son) is in the room with us".

It brings her peace and comfort when that happens.

I hope the same for you with your wife.
