Thanks John for your good wishes I thought the forum was gone and just found it. We got 60 wonderful years of a loving marriage, and had a sixty two year love story, sadly Esther died on 2 AUGUST,2020. It transpired she had a brain tumor, any remedy could have been very difficult, and possibly the surgery itself could be fatal, she opted to not do anything and was given two months to live, she actually passed after five weeks. I am as I have for that period doing this post with tears in my eyes, I am sad, lonely, and not the brave man I always thought I was . Bob
