Bernie,
My heart sank reading what has happened to your partner; your wife.
Words cannot convey the sadness felt in our home today. Andrew, Jonathan, Ryland, Michelle and I are all thinking of you and sending loving thoughts
your way sir.
Please don't hesitate to let us know if we can be of any assistance to you at all.
When I was young, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people.

We know we must go back if we live, and we don`t know why.

A Lady named Mia--whom I do not know
send me a U-2-U that touched me just a bit more than so many of yours (I thank you for that and certainly do not wish you to think that your words are
deminished---they are not and are so important to me....I will hold them to my heart forever) Actually her words released me and allowed me to post
these simple words that I gave my kids and grandkid on this day of thanks......................
Lu Ann Swaim
August 27, 1937 November 20, 2007
The Lady who faced life without a complaint and made us all so happy with her absolutely positive approach toward the future regardless of the pain
which she carried with her for countless years
About how wonderful this Lady has been to each and everyone of us throughout our lives. A little shove here and a push there. Quietly
Your mother, grandmother, My Lady, my Lover and my Life. Always with a smile and encouragement for everyone
A Lady who had suffered much and one who has always been so calm, strong, loving, and giving
A gal who asked so little of us and yet filled our lives with a calm and soothing caring
We all have our thoughts of this wondrous Lady and how she has so quietly influenced our lives as she protected each of us and helped us over the
bumps in the road
Know that she will always be with us as we continue to wander down life’s confusing but shining path—she will be shaking her head or smiling but she
will always be there for each of us
Michael, Kara, and Dylan remember that she will be frowning at some of your antics—but mostly she will be smiling and nodding at your accomplishments
in life
Tammy and Dawn, my wonderful daughters, remember all those little things that she placed within you to help you as you face the continuing challenges
of placing similar values and thoughts in my grandkids who I love so dearly
Know that I will forever cherish my Lady, my Lover, and my Life
As me and mom always sign our many notes of love—
“Me”

Thank you all for your wonderful support in my time of need
I thought I would close out this thread with something that I wrote a while back......................
"Being an optimist means that we must be disappointed and depressed because we strive for a truth that we may never find.....Being an eternal optimist
means that we eternally seek understanding even as we are disappointed and depressed..."
I chose to be an optimist even as I struggle to find the truth and understand why my Lady was taken from me...........AND you have all helped me in
this struggle---Thank you all!
