I know from all your blog pots that he was a very good friend of you and Bill's and that he fought a brave and long fight against his cancer. May he rest in peace and may Helen be comforted by your continued friendship and her happy memories of her wonderful husband.Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-53267982139197161492016-04-29T05:59:24.779+10:002016-04-29T05:59:24.779+10:00So sorry for your loss.

It's a hard fact of later life that we must gradually lose those who have been so much part of our lives. I suppose we must adjust to it somehow, but it is especially painful to see people we love ravaged by cancer. I'm sure Helen will value your quiet concern for her. My condolences to you all.jennyfreckleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12221511824958069710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8856747756759071827.post-37283723557435892732016-04-28T22:07:50.143+10:002016-04-28T22:07:50.143+10:00I am so very sorry, Diane, for the loss of your fr...I am so very sorry, Diane, for the loss of your friend.
