Unfortunately my husband lost his fight against tongue cancer last night.

He passed away, peacefully, in his sleep.

We both knew the next few months were potentially going to get rather horrible, so I think he just decided to go now, and save us both the pain of watching him deteriorate slowly.

Love to you all

My dear Spouse, So so sad. You and your husband fought very very hard to fight this terrible disease. You endured so much along the
way, always with so much courage and dignity.

Please accept my condolences for your terribly sad loss.

Spouse you know you have my utmost respect. Please try to look after yourself at this sad time.

Thinking of you

Rosemary

Spouse, Such bad news I am so glad he went peacefully thats my worry.
God bless you both and my prayers are with you
You have been so strong and dignified through all this
all the best

Paul

Spouse, aren't words useless at a time like this.

As Paul says lets thank God that he went peacefully and was saved from excessive pain and so forth.

My prayers are with you

Spouse I am so very sad for you and your loss. I know you saw it coming and can only say how your frustration has been so tangible on more than one occasion.

May your beloved rest peacefully and may you too remember him for the fine happy times you had together. You've supported your darling when he needed it and loved him for better and worse.

Be easy on yourself, he would want you to move on at some point. God bless.

Dear Spouse

Sorry to hear the sad news. Life is tough and you need a hug. My thoughts are with you. Take care.

Best wishes

I would like to reproduce the info on the homepage of www.mouthcancerfoundation.org.uk - the info about Oral Cancer and the 12 things to watch out for, and print them on a small card to hand out to everyone who comes to my husband's funeral - I think it will be 200 or so and help to raise awareness of Oral Cancer and the charity itself.

I also intend to try to buy 200 of the blue ribbons to attach to the card so that people can wear them - and get the message out there about Oral Cancer.

Is this OK, as far as copyright is concerned?

Would you want to proof read it?

Thanks

spouse

So sorry about your sad news spouse.

Spouse, Well for someone who always has something to say---I am speechless. I wish I was there to hug you or you hug me. He earned his wings and has flown home.I am concerned about you my dear sweet friend. How are you handling all this? How are you going to be now? I remember you saying that you were so afraid about the future--that you would be known as the cancer survivor and his wife. For some reason that always stayed with me. You are a brave woman rather you realize this or not. The church would be full if only we could all be there too. I will play my favorite song in his memory tonight--Amaging Grace. God Bless You, Hold You and Help You through the days and weeks to come....I am here if you should ever need me.....Always,,,Vicki Lynn----Maybe now you can rest. Maybe now you can have some peace...I pray so..

Hello Spouse

Please feel free to do what you described above. We are the Mouth Cancer Foundation www.mouthcancerfoundation.org (no need for the .uk bit). I think it is a great idea. I would be happy to proof read it for you and ask Krishan to cast his designer eye over it, if you wish.

Best wishes

Dear Spouse

Sorry to hear of your husband's passing away. All our thoughts are with you at this time.

Your awareness cards look neat and presentable. Glad you were able to obtain the ribbons for free from the British Dental Health Foundation. If there is anything else we can do, please let us know.

Everyone at the Mouth Cancer Foundation is here to support you through this difficult time. May your husband, Paul, rest in peace.

With sympathies, Krishan

May I join with everyone else in expressing my sadness at your loss. A prayer for Paul: "Eternal rest give to him O Lord, let perpetual light shine upon him and may he rest in peace, Amen." God bless.

Dear Spouse,

I received this simple message when the love of my life died 5 years ago - I still read it first thing every morning. It helps me, perhaps it may you.

"may an essence of all you love be a part of you every day"

My prayers are with you .

Close now thine eyes and rest secure; Thy soul is safe enough, thy body sure, now only peace, and only rest. My Thoughts are with you Garance.

Dear Spouse,
My thoughts are with you very deeply. What a wonderful partner you have been, right to the end, seeking out things to make his life easier.
It was so fine that he died peacefully.
It is like losing a member of the family.
Warmest thoughts and deepest sympathy from Ishbel
