Local columnist reflects on widowhood

In a personal column, the writer shares the loss of her husband after years of health issues and urges readers to cherish time with loved ones

As a lot of you might know, I’ve recently become a member of a group I didn’t want to be a part of — the widows club.

He had been through a lot of health issues in the last four years, and finally, his heart said that’s enough, and he went to be with the Lord. He is missed by so many.

We shared more than 51 years together. So many things we would have liked to have done.

Please stay close to the one you have and appreciate the time you still have together.

Luckily, I do have friends and family all around me to love and support me.
