We've never met. We'll likely never meet. I followed the events as they unfolded. I imagined myself in your circumstances. I hoped that things would work out for you and I'm genuinely saddened by your wife's death. But I'm also amazed and encouraged by what I've seen here. You and your wife have clearly enriched many people's lives and that doesn't just disappear.

How I feel, but said better than I could.

Wayne, please take care of yourself during this time when you grieve and adjust. It is harder on you than you think so I ask you to be careful and do what's right for yourself. You have lots of friends here so don't hesitate to ask if you need something . Best Regards, John

It is now official. The year 2016 is the worse year of my life.

Vicky got a high fever today, and her heart could no longer take the strain.
My best friend of 43 years is gone. 

I hope that she is at piece now.  :cry:

Sad days ahead.

Well that's a really sad year. Kept checking in to hear the good news and keeping my fingers crossed.
I'm sure she is smiling down on you.
Take care.

Some may recall a little blurb I posted back when Iron Mike passed titled "the people that touch our lives". Although I could re-post with edit, I'm not certain that would be appropriate. Maybe, maybe not.

Wayne, if you read that at the time, please know that Vicky is included in those heartfelt words. No words can make it right, but Jan and I are both grieving for you. Vicky was a wonderful lady. She, and you for that matter, have touched a lot of lives! She will be missed.

Although some may have overlooked other replies, I have picked up on others here, who have dealt with terrible things briefly mentioned. To those people that have chosen to keep things private, I sincerely hope you are all getting through it and making peace with it.

So very sorry to hear about Vicky's passing.  Surround yourself with friends and loved ones. 

I lost my wife of 34 years in 2015.  Time does heal all wounds, but the memories will remain.  God bless.

Vicky had a brother in-law pass just a few months back. We talked about it then, and I am following that thought.

Wayne,  that is a wonderful idea. Message sent.
Anyways, keep the faith.  Vicky could not have found a more fitting husband to experience
life's beauty ..
And if I may say, I will miss her little smile and that wonderful head of hair.
Somehow, strength to you Wayne, and Lisa sends her love and support.

Wayne, like many here, I've never met you. I'm deeply sorry for your loss. When my Bev died, I still had a full time job and dealt with the pain  by throwing myself into work. Now that I'm retired, I don't know how I'd function without Gail. Take care of yourself. Focus on something meaningful. Our thoughts are with you.

Hope to meet you someday.

I signed the guest book and a confirmation showed up that my message was sent but I still don't see it in the guest book.  Maybe it doesn't post automatically.

I dug up a couple of awards that Vicky got at the Blue Ridge rally over the years.
The one on the left I SWEAR is hers, not mine.  :grin:  Well, maybe some of it was me.
The one on the right is for her having to put up with me for all of these years, whatever they meant by that.  :embarrassed:

Wonderful  awards Wayne.  It's so great that Vicky shared your love for motorcycling, traveling, camping, etc.   Having a spouse that enjoys something that you love so much  makes the adventure even greater.

By now, most of us have learned that *time* is our most valuable commodity. Unlike days of old, there's not a passbook with neat little figures written by the teller behind the window in the bank telling us how much we have left. Nobody on this earth knows how much we have left. Vicky ran out before her time was up by our measure.
Love Vicky for who she was, what she did, and realize that her time ran out. It will happen to all of us. Hopefully, we will be loved and missed as much as she is..

I also have followed this and wasn't sure how to respond only to say that I am so sorry for your loss.  I have only met a couple people on this forum but have found a close knit family on here.  Wayne, i pray for your speedy recovery both physically and emotionally.

I'm struck with grief for you as I can't imagine losing my wife, together only half the time you were with Vicky. I believe in Christ, and trust His promises. Today I spoke to Him on your behalf. Stay strong brother, sincere blessings to you.
