So sorry Sir, my wife was sick for 20 years after having breast cancer in the mid 90’s and passed away in 2015. I haven’t sat down for more than a few minutes since that day and find that just keeping going helps with the loss. However, I still talk with her daily and will until I pass on. Very best to you and the family, just keep the faith. Rest in peace beautiful lady.

About 2 years ago my wife was diagnosed with Melanoma. I posted this at that time - https://www.riverdavesplace.com/for...are-shittier-than-others.191361/#post-3130554

It had metastasized to her brain and lungs by the time we found out. Because of her seizures, caused by the brain tumors, I had to stop working to be with her full time. We have been to the leading researchers and minds on the type of cancer she had at the City of Hope, Mayo Clinic and MD Andersen to no avail. We tried the most forward thinking treatments and surgery after surgery - lung removed / intestinal surgeries x 2 / a number of pelvic tumors removed and over 30 stereotactic gamma brain surgeries. It has been a long < 2 years.

I want the whole world to know what a great woman, mother and wife she was and will continue to be through the inspiration she leaves behind.

The woman who made our family possible has gone to be with our lord. Wendy was the half of me that made this the best life I could have imaged. Brogan, Cade and I have been with her at the hospital since last Friday when she suffered another seizure that was just too much to over come this time. It’s not possible to share how much she will be missed and the hole she will leave in our hearts will never be filled.

We hope to have a service soon but are unsure of what the church will allow at this time. We also hope to host a reception to share stories and our love for Wendy with our friends, info will be forth coming. Lastly, the kids and I have decided to dedicate our favorite cove on Lake Havasu to her memory later this summer. We intend to have a plaque made and mount it to the cliff on the entrance to the cove. In our mind the cove will always be referred to as "Wendy Cove" from this day forward.

Wendy Vincent Griffin - May the wind always be at your back and the rain fall softly on your fields. Until we meet again, may god hold you in the palm of his hand...

With all my love, Jim

Please feel free to share this with our extended circle of friends that you think would like to know.

Jim, Brogan and Cade. There are no words.. I have thought of Wendy non stop since I got the call that she had passed. I am so sad that life gets busy and we lose track of people who made our world better like Wendy. We get busy and it’s terrible. She was my person at all those basketball practices and games. We laughed and had snarky comments all the time. We used to park next to each other, walk in and out of practice and time seemed to fly as we sat in the gym sweating or freezing. . She was so sweet to Carley and all the kids. She will be missed. I am so sorry that you did not have her for longer. I am so sad that she sufferedl. I hate that for her. I hate cancer!! Take time to heal. Talk about her often. Press into Jesus! He will cover you with a unimaginable peace that surpasses all human understanding. He will carry you when it seems like the loss is just too much. Thanks for such a great tribute to her. I wish I had known that she was sick . I wish I had spent some more time with her. I will pray for you all. Blessings and much love to you all! ❤ Tina, Lino, Hailey, Courtney, Carley and Lil Lino

May your great memories guide your ship through those dark nights.

May the tears in your heart become sealed by the love you both shared.

May the beacon of hope shine through the wetness in your eyes and the blinding of your loss.

My condolences and prayers for you. Surround yourself with family and friends, each helping each other to go through these tough times.

May your beautiful wife and mother to your children rest in peace. What a brave soul and warrior, I feel terrible for what she had to endure, thankfully she is out of pain and in comfort.

So sorry for your loss.
