Hello friends, some of you may have met my husband Patrick at the Walldog events. After battling cancers for 20 years,,,,,,his sprit left this world. I was with him when it happened. I am fine, I have family and God helping me get through this. Last Oct. he gave his life to the Lord and was baptized. Everything is in the Lord's timing.

Hi Alicia. Please accept my sincere condolance on your loss. I've always made it a practice to tell my spouse, "thank you for sharing your life with me." I know that you'll always have some good memories of times that you shared together. Cherish those.

Alicia, very sorry for your loss. His spirit may have left this world, but will remain in this universal realm. He will continue to guide you. A friend was considering some work on his bike to be done by a female artist. He asked what I thought about women stripers, and I referenced you as among the best. God Bless.

Alicia, I am so sorry to hear this. The only positive thing I can think of is that I am really glad that Dora and I got to spend the day with you and Pat a few years ago. That day let me get to know Pat, and what a great guy he was.
We will keep you and Pat in our thoughts and prayers.

I sometimes think about getting parts from someone else and the trip you and Pat made to express some thank you's. I like holding the memories that warm me and set examples of how I'd want to behave. That's something I got from him. Thanks for sharing your heart. I hope his transition was peaceful.

At the moment he left this world,,, he had been bleeding internally for hours because of the cancer in his neck. But he was not in any pain. We spoke to each other through out the night. I love you,,,,, About 6:30 am, he woke up and looked at me with wide eyes. He stood up, suddenly his body shook and just gave out. His spirit left him at that point. I was so glad to be with him.

So sorry for your loss. It sounds like he fought a courageous battle, 20 years is a long fight.

Alicia, I'm very sorry to learn about this. I missed the earlier posts and just now saw the news. I don't know if I ever met your husband. It's a testament to your shared love that you were such a good caregiver.
