It's a profound thing to lose someone that intertwined in your life. I should know.

Wonderful tribute.

It's better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all, but, god damn does it still hurt to move through that loss. I'm glad it was fast and painless for her and her family.

An amazingly detailed tribute, you'd have to think this was taken from a journal or maybe Stephen just has a fantastic memory.

My only solace in this tragedy is that the end came instantly, after a day filled with nothing but joy.

We should all be so lucky that the end comes for us without suffering and surrounded by our loved ones.

I am so sorry for your loss. This is a beautiful and touching tribute and she was lucky to have such a loving husband.

Beautiful tribute. Perhaps a reminder to self to write my own version prior to our passing. Such misfortune to be taken so young.
