I'm so sorry to hear of Chris' passing. The world, and especially you, have suffered such a tragic loss. I know from his FB he is so well loved, and the both of you as a couple. I will pray that your beautiful memories help sustain you, Bill. What an amazing caregiver you've been.

Love,

Went in for surgery for a cyst on my bladder, and they found colon cancer growing on the outside of the colon. Got to have two surgeries at the same time! Stage 3, one node involved.
