Default Lost my wonderful wife Janet

Jan passed away on March 13th due to colon cancer that had spread to other organs. She was a wonderful person to spend 29 years with and was always the team player and would help anyone that needed help.

I found out after coming back from Ron Fellows school last fall and it was a difficult journey but I enjoyed giving her the best care I could.

She never complained about the illness and died peacefully in her sleep with me holding her hand.

Janet was only 57 years old and had Stage 4 Colon cancer. I would ask anyone reading this to schedule regular physicals which can catch this cancer and effect a cure before it's too late.

Taking her name off the title as joint owner is difficult to believe. She loved the vette.

Ray

So very sorry for your loss Ray. I just had my colon removed 3 months ago but polyps were found.
57 is way too young to pass. My prayers are with you and your family, sir.

May the pain of the loss be somewhat lessened by the memories of those wonderful 29 years. May those memories never fade and bring togertheness forever.

STL, I hope everything works out for you. Janet would have gladly had the operation to lose the colon, but it was too late for that.

The newest cancer treatments coming out are much more effective then chemo. Once I get the legal stuff done, I'm going to push the hospital to move into targeted colon cancer treatment. I gladly donate on an annual basis if they agree.

In Janet's case, even the targeted cancer treatment probably would have been too late.

I hope and pray everything works out great for you. Please keep me updated.

Thanks,
Ray
