It is with deep sorrow

This forum has meant much to me since I first joined in 2004.

Extrovert that I am, it is not surprising that I have never been shy about mentioning my large family which included ten siblings who had nearly all, in one way or another, made significant contribution to WW2.

By the same token I have often mentioned Nita,my partner of some 66 years and who I had once persuaded to let me tell her own wartime story on the BBC Peoples War Archives
http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ww2peopleswar/stories/99/a8959099.shtml

I now have to announce, with deep sorrow, that the love of my life passed away peacefully on Wednesday the 16th of March this year after a long and debilitating medical condition.

I still strongly believe that a person has not truly departed this earth until their name is no longer mentioned and therefore I trust I will be forgiven for using the forum to make this announcement.

Ron
devastating news and you have my deepest condolences as I had the same experience just four years ago and just yesterday I planted an Easter wreath in

Veronica's memory - which i do four times each year - my local florest no longer asks - she just makes them and delivers them the day before i head off to the

cemetery - so best advice - keep working as -having met Nita - that is what she would want.

in my religion - we tend to have Masses celebrated for the repose of the deceased's "repose of the soul " - with your permission - i shall arrange this for Nita

with my best regards

ps - i too lost a very good friend of many years - just last week - a fellow D-Day Dodger - LT Col Quintin Rhodes of the Ghurka Regiment

 

I am so sorry to read about Nita's death but glad that you had those 66 years together. My thoughts are with you.

 

Quite. Sixty-six years with a person you love is more than most of humanity will ever have.

My condolences, Ron. Talk-talk-talk until there's nothing more to tell - and then tell it all again.

 

Very sad news Ron - you could tell you were a very devoted couple. A few are given the blessing of a long life, but are missed all the more when they depart.
We send our condolences to you and your family.

 

My condolences to you Ron, so sorry to read of your loss, my thoughts are with you.

My family and I deeply appreciate the kind words offered above and in my private mesage box.

I allways made a point of discussing such messages with Nita and I know how touched she would have been by your support at this time.

Many thanks to all
