My wife

Though none of you ever met my wife, Teresa, many of you have shared in stories about her whether it was some new animal or another medical problem. It is with great sorrow that I now share with you the news of her passing away last Thursday, July 23.

The funeral home set up an online memorial for her if anyone would care to see it.

Bill

Man.... She had a rough few years and I was praying for her. She is a ease now... without pain or suffering. I am truly sorry that you lost her but you'll see her again.

I'm so very sorry. I know how much you love her. It was evident in our discussions over lunch and in all the stories you've shared with us over the years. I hope you and your son have been able to share the good memories.

I'm so sorry to hear this Bill. My thoughts are with you during this terrible time. I knew of Theresa's health problems but always hoped that she'd hang in there through it all. Stay strong my friend. If I could, I'd take you out to drown sorrows over a beer or six.

I'm just checking in to let you all know that I'm making it day by day thanks to family, friends and faith.

I found a place online that does oil paintings from photographs so I placed an order to have Teresa's picture painted on a 20x24 canvas.

I haven't sold the peacocks yet. I convinced myself to put them on craigslist last week but I didn't get any responses. Guess I'll list them again. I ordered a painting of peacocks on eBay to replace the live peacocks (if I ever do sell them).

Thanks again for the thoughts and prayers.

The painting

They finished the painting and sent me a picture of it today. I should receive the painting in 7-8 days. I'm excited!

Thrax, I'm pretty sure it was painted in China based on my contact saying shipping would be suspended Oct 1-5 for a National Holiday where the painter is located. Whomever or wherever, they did a great job based on the photo they sent me.

I received the painting and it looks great.

I also received a picture of the grave marker yesterday (I'm in Seattle for two weeks). It has an image of a tractor, barn and farm fencing which I thought was appropriate. My mom is going to check on the marker and place some flowers since I can't get there for a couple of weeks.

Nothing says FINAL like this does....

It's been a while since I checked in. The painting is awesome and a lovely tribute to Teresa. The marker looks great too. I sure do hope you won't be finding yourself there for a long, long time Bill. I hope you're carrying on well and finding peace.
