DON
Your loss and sorrow touch my heart
When from a loved one we must part

A quotation was told to me one day
That seems appropriate for me to say

Do not cry because she is gone
Smile for the time you shared ❤️

My husband and best friend
Was suddenly taken from me
When a trucker crossed the yellow line 💔

So I am well familiar with the sense of loss
My heart is with you at this time ❤️

Thank you all for your thoughts. I'm Ok as I prepared for this during recent decline after battling Parkinson's disease for 13 years. It's a terrible terrible disease that slowly and then suddenly sucks the life out of you.

Patty was a thoughbred sevant and the one who started getting me involved on these horse racing forums. We traveled to many tracks aroubd the country, none more favorite than Saratoga in our home state. We vacations in the Adrondacks as kids but in different parts. We made many wonderful trips to tracks around the country. We were able to meet many nice but somtimes unique individuals in person after thinking we knew them by their virtual personalities. She knew more about thoroughbreds and racing than probably all of you put together. I knew her mind was being totally taken over by PD when her interest in the sport basically shut down.

We were lucky enough to meet Glen Gallivan "Glenners" at Churhill a year before his terribly handicapped body gave way. He knew even more about racing than Patty did. Thus the Gallivn Cup we play for every year.

I will try and catch with Points totals soon and hope to eventually get back in the gate with all of you. I am ok!

THE PRICE OF LOVE ❤️
Gone But Never Forgotten

If We Never Say Hello
We Never Say Goodbye
If We Never Love At All
We Never Have To Cry

But Think How Empty
Life Would Be
Without Them
By Your Side
Remember All The Love
You Shared
And Not The Day They Died

Her Magick Spirit Will Remain
In Memory And Heart
I Loved Her From The Day We Met-
She Loved Me From The Start

All Good Things
Must Come To An End
Or So That Saying Goes
But When She Left
She Took My Heart
Where Now Just Sorrow Grows

Only Time Can Heal The Pain
Of Sudden Loss + Sorrow
The Tears I Cry Today
May Stop Some Far Tomorrow

Grief Is The Price We Pay For Love
The Sorrow That We Bear
But Remember Too
Our Lives Were Blessed
Because That Love Was There ❤️
