I like to think that the change from this form to the next is especially wonderful for those who suffer with long term issues.
Your words are a great tribute to your wife and a reminder for all to cherish today-tomorrow is never assured.

God Bless you Dave, 

I’ve heard it said and experienced it on my own that; “her absence is forever present”. Remember this though, the love doesn’t die and her spirit and soul remain more alive now than ever.

It's hard to lose a best friend for any reason.

Value the time you had and remember that. She will always
be with you.

Value the family that is WildGuzzi. We care about each other.

Any needs...ask.

I will take your words to heart and give Laurie an extra hug
tonight.

My sincere condolences, Mr. Swanson.  From your words - you provided immense comfort to her; and 41 years of marriage is a great duration.

God Bless her and you.

I can only echo what has already been said. She is at peace and you were there when she needed you. Honor her now as you have for these past many years. I am thinking of you.

Just saw this and thought, "there *are* good people and good in this world." Of course, there is nothing I can say except this, too, shall pass. I've never met you, but wish I had..

Peace to you, Dave. Sensitive and gentle care for your wife is evidence that your dedication and loyalty is genuine. I'm sure this was not lost on your spouse, but also probably influenced the behavior of others who knew of your struggle. I know that I have been affected by your journey. Blessings and comfort to you as you begin this next stage of your life. We're here if you need us...
