Patricia Rizzo
Lynda,
I can’t imagine the sadness you must be feeling from your loss; no words can really help to ease your pain….
I know it is a difficult time, but I pray you can hold tight to the loving memories for comfort, lean on your friends for strength if/when you need it, and always remember how much you are cared about – and remember to care for yourself, too.
Knowing you, and that you have always been a positive influence on others, I can only imagine how wonderfully positive and supportive your husband must have been as well.
‘Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal [and] when someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.’
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
