I'm very sorry to hear of your loss, Mike. I'll remember her in my thoughts and prayers.

Bass Babe 07-25-2005 05:26 PM

I am so sad for your loss, Clammer. I can only hope that you find solace in your memories of your happy times together. The memories of her ringing laughter, the way she looked when she was sleeping, the love in her eyes when she gazed into yours. Your wife must be such a large part of you, in your behaviors, favorite songs, sayings, daily rituals, that she will always be there with you. Not to mention that she gave you her heart 36 years ago. That's forever. Everything may seem fleeting and temporary at this point in your life, but love is permanent. My sympathy to you, your family, and friends. May you not grieve, but instead rejoice that you know a beautiful, wonderful woman, who will always live on, no matter in what realm she travels. Love, Sarah

Mike I am very sorry to hear this. I hope that with the love of family and friends you will get through this ok. If you need anything please give me a call.

Got Stripers 07-25-2005 06:05 PM

You are in my thoughts Mike, two fine people can rest a bit now, when you are ready to get out you call me. Tough birds with a zest for living always find a way to keep on living and it's tough on those close; but you have to respect that deep down desire to live. My mom was very similar, she fought through all kinds of cancer and the last 4 years were tough to watch, but you just had to admire the will involved and hope it's something she has instilled in you as well. I sighed a long deep sigh of relief the last day as family all watch that tough bird struggle for almost a day, grasping hard for each and every last breath, even though conscious thought had slipped away two days earlier. Ironically, I say conscious, but it was minutes after a call from my brother in Hawaii united that last family member in the room, the will let it go. It was a special momemt and I hope the end was special for you my friend. At peace at last I'm happy for you Mike, it was a long battle for you both.

John thanks /for the nice words / you guys that new her / know how classy she really was /WTF was she doing with me ????????

mike - she knew what she had in you. when my wife met you at the rissa show she said that you were the most respectful man towards women she'd ever met. again our condolences and God bless.

Mike, was the first member on this site who took me under his wing so to speak. He was so special to my wife Kacie (Starfish) that she couldn't get enough of him. We met him on many occasions and enjoyed ourselves immensely. Not once did he complain about his personal hardships even though we knew.

Mike You ask what she was doing with a guy like you? What everyone sees in you. You made her life from the very first moment you met, a life of joy. A life full of happiness and great memories.

Some of the greatest words I have ever heard came out of your mouth, enjoy what you have. Because of you I have learned to slow down take a look around and just watch. I realize this is how you live your life and your wife did too.

I just want you to know that we are all hear for you anytime anywhere. I will always be grateful for what you have done and Kacie and I and our son Tynan offer our deepest condolences.

Sincerly with deepest regrets,
Casey

Mike;
To add to the list, obviously my thoughts and condolences are with your family; we just lost a member or our family so I have recently been through it, though it doesnt compare to the struggle shelia has endured so valiantly.

Give me a shout when need to get out and you wanna bang boats in the lower east bay;
