Default My wife died yesterday

This is just to let you know that Carol-Jean died on Jan 1. She was a 9 year survivor of pancreatic cancer. On Aug. 10 she fell and broke her hip. She recovered nicely from that but on Oct. 28 the oncologist said there was nothing further that could be done for her cancer. We did manage to keep Carol-Jean home and comfortable until the end.

My condolences Keith. Although I didn’t know her well, she seemed like a very fine woman. The Lord be with you.

Default Thank you, Pat.

I hope you are doing well. I am doing OK. I finally finished my 1936 Packard just before we moved to our new house.
The 1916 Model T coupelet is off at a friend"s house getting a starter installed. That is fairly involved, which includes removing the engine and transmission and putting a new flywheel, magneto magnets and coil ring in the transmission and putting a different transmission cover on. Of course, to remove the engine and tranny the hood, radiator, steering column and firewall have to come off. In my current physical condition that is a bit too much for me to do. But this will allow me to start the car and drive it.

Keith, very sorry to hear about the passing of Carol-Jean. At least you were able to care for and support her at home. Take care of yourself and condolences to you and all family members.

Condolences. I wish I could have known her.
We never lose the people we love, even thru passing.
They continue to participate in every thought and decision we make.
Our love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories.
May God welcome and comfort her
Stay strong and honor her memory
