| On our wedding day, September 14,2002. |
I left her alone to rest Sunday afternoon. I just didn't know that it would be a permanent rest. When I attempted to awaken her some time later, she was already gone, seemingly peaceful in the reclining lift chair that she had been confined to for the past year...I'll never forgive myself for that!
Rosanne was simply a unique person, beautiful in so many ways.
I have never known anyone so sincerely kind, generous, loving, selfless, sensitive, loyal, responsible and painfully honest. She loved babies, her family, laughter, her God, any form of hamburger (a cheap date) and in later life dogs, especially her Lucy girl who predeceased her by only a few weeks. Best of all, I was unequivocally her "husband"...Nothing else mattered.
She had a distaste for injustice, cruelty, dishonesty -- and mushrooms.
It is for all those reasons, and more, that I loved her so much. I may never fully recover from losing her. There were just so many things we never got do do. In the past 48 hours I am reminded of that every time I see other couples our age, out doing together what we should be doing, had not time run out for us. I suppose you could say that we more than made up for it in the time we had together, just the two of us, in the confines of our home with me looking after her to the best of my ability; content in the knowledge that at least we still had each other.
What concerns me most now is the void that will exist the rest of my days. What do you do with the loss of purpose? What value is there in living just for yourself?...Guess I'll find out!
The following is Rosanne's death notice. It by no means does her justice.
