Re: In the BLINK of an EYE ***UPDATE***
Dearest friends,
It is with a heavy heart that I announce that my beloved husband Mike passed away January 1'st at 8 PM.
He was surrounded by the love of our 3 sons Sean, Cory & Brian and myself as he left this world and became our valiant Guardian Angel forever more.
I will fill you in later, but I held with my promises to the last........
He felt no pain, he was surrounded by his family in our home, and it was my blue eyes looking into his in his last moments
His last final gift to the world...... he donated his body to University of California, San Diego (UCSD) for medical science
An amazing man to the end. That is all I have for now.........
Goodbye, my love, my darling..... my best friend, lover & companion
Until we meet again.
All of my Love... now & forever
Vicki

Vicki,
I'm so, so sorry for your loss. With all that you did for him your husband must have felt so loved and well-cared for. I've been following your thread and you sound like a truly amazing wife and mom. Please take care of yourself over the coming days and know that many, many people are thinking of you.

Oh I'm just crying... just crying.
But still I feel such a power coming from you, Mike and your family... That's why I may hope you won't feel the cold..., neither for one second...
I hold you
