Hi
Just passed the sixth anniversary of my dear wife Maria who died suddenly while we were out cycling on the Greenway. Size 10 fit didn’t smoke and occasional glass of wine at a wedding. Uncovered old papers today and found Maria’s obituary and local clubs tribute to her .
So having one of those days and had to look at a site and pass on my story.
Funny how it creeps up when you least expect it
Sincere condolences ❤️
My prayers, and sincere condolences!
