From your earlier words, she had some happy moments with family and some much needed relief from her symptoms.
Focus on that if you can.
We're with you buddy!

It is through them that I have heard many great stories from the past KC reunions and how great all the folks are that come to the events. Because of this I almost feel like I know you both.
I am truly saddened by the loss of your wife Denise. I will say a prayer for you and hope that with family and friends, and loving memories will give strength to get through this difficult time.
God Bless,

Joe,Jr is here for the week to help me out. To be perfectly honest I expected this to happen some day because of Denise health, just didn't expect it so soon. BUT I will tell folks this, if it wasn't for modern medical technology I would have lost her 15-20yrs ago so I'm happy to have had her in my life for so long.
I met Denise 45yrs ago, her sister was dating a friend of mine. Fast forward, we met up again after not seeing her after for about 6-7yrs & about 4-5 months later we were married. We had our ups & downs, we loved each other like two young kids, fought like cats & dogs a few times & she even asked me for a divorce a time or two. Thankfully we worked things out. We had lots of fun going to car/truck shows over the years and traveling throughout the midwest. We had 3 children, some of you know we lost our twins Nicholas & Natalie after birth and they would have been 30yrs old this past Thanksgiving. Our son Joe,Jr was also born 14wks early but grew up to do 8yrs in the Marines, got married to a beautify woman & gave Denise & myself a handsome grandson.
I am very thankful that Joe & his family could be here & visit w/her in the hospital && thankfully she was well enough that she didn't have a bunch of tubes/IV & what not running in & out of her during their visit. I am even more grateful that I was able to spend 3hrs w/her the last day. We talked about visiting the kid & his family this spring & was going to do some traveling once Marge was finished.
Some plans have changed others haven't. Denise did want me to do two things no matter what the out come is. I've done the first, she told me to get a haircut. Now it's time to take care of the 2nd request. Not going to be an easy road to travel & it will dig up horrible feelings I don't want to have, but I must fulfill my last promise to her && I will in due time.
Thanks again folks for the kind words....joe

I have one of your re-purposed note pads right here by my computer and prior to this, it always gave me a nice grin when I would use it. Now, I see it and feel so badly like I need one of your Kansas City Big Bear hugs. *I* need it because I need to give you one of my scrawny hugs back.
You have touched the hearts of many that we know of and I'm sure so many more that we don't know. It is your nature.
Reading the story of Denise's last days was amazing. I was so glad that Joe Jr got home with the fam to see you and Denise. I know he will be a good support for you.
We will continue to keep you in our prayers. I will continue to tear up as I make my grocery lists on your note pads.
Love you big guy.
