So so sorry for your loss.

I've been thinking of you & kids since I read of her passing.

Why wouldn’t people here care about you and what you’re going through now?

Most of us can’t be physically by your side at a time like this, but we can share a vigil and send encouragement and sympathy and support your way. And we can be here to listen when you need to unburden.

I always get a sense of comfort and reassurance when I remember what our own Skittles posted here, once upon a time, and what it’s meant to me during unsettling times: “someone’s always here.”

The hurt you are feeling. I just want you to know we love you and yours. I’m so very sorry.

Comes as quite a shock since we have always enjoyed your stories about your understanding wife, the boys and the pups. So it's a loss for us, too. Hang in there and please know that we're thinking of you, the boys and the pups and we're here for you, always.

There truly is no words…

Your posts so extraordinary, your life has sadness just like the rest of humankind.

...surely not so we can even imagine your own, but surely we all share in it.

Peace, brother.

Of your loss. Try and take comfort in those who are with you but know you were loved and all of us hurt for you! Peace and comfort from your DU friends in your loss.

Our own and you are most certainly that. It extends to your family that you share with us so we share in your loss and grieving.

Extra love to the boys and the pups too.

Please be well. Very sorry for your loss.

My heart goes out to you and your family. I've never know that grief but I've known plenty of others.

Just remember the advice spoken by President Biden - there will come a time when the memory of your loved one brings a smile to your lips before it brings a tear to your eye.

I thought about you and your family yesterday.

joy and laughter, and often made us think. (If only about where the periods and commas might go.)

We're here for you and wishing you strength now and much happiness in the future. Carry on brave sir.

It’s dyslexia

It's endearing.

Your wife always sounded like an amazing woman. So so sorry for your loss.

I've been through it myself, so I know something about what you're feeling. I unexpectedly lost my husband shortly before Christmas so I know it's especially hard around the holidays.

I'm sending a hug to you, your boys, and your pups. When I think of you writing that Mr. Big Paws keeps waiting by the gate, my heart breaks all over again for all of you.

Take care and know that we're all here for you.

I was devastated at the news and though I don't know how much sympathy helps, I do think the caring nature of a community reaching out just might. You are in my thoughts, along with your two-legged and four-legged "children."

I lit a candle for your dear beloved and hope you all find peace of mind and comfort.

Reading your posts over the years, it was apparent that your love for each other was absolutely amazing with a deep bond.


May you take comfort in knowing that we are sharing in your grief. Please let us (DU Community) know if you need anything.

For your loss. I always read your posts and you and you have opened up your life and heart here. Dear friend hugs to you I am so very sorry for your loss.

Sending you kind thoughts and virtual hugs is all we can do to let you know that. Stay strong.

Words aren’t enough to express it. It sounds dumb, but I feel like I know your family. I picture you all in my head while reading your stories. Your stories have brought me much joy and laughter. I’m just so sorry and wish there was something to do to help take away some of the pain.
Sending you, the kids and the pups love.

You are in our thoughts.

Condolences to you and your whole family

May you and your family draw closer during this time, Duncanpup.

I am so saddened by your loss 💐

I almost think of you as family. I've been reading your posts on DU all these years. Your love for your wife and your family was a shining star. I'm so very sorry for your loss.

here and I’m sure around you who are thinking about you and your boys and sending you virtual good wishes. I know from your posts that you have many wonderful memories of your wife. May those memories support you in your grief.

I, like so many others here, have enjoyed and looked forward to your stories over the years. They exuded warmth, love, humor and gave us a small glimpse into you and your world. We loved what we saw and loved you for your wonderful generosity of sharing with us.

My heart breaks for your loss. I lost my husband this past January and so feel your pain. You’re sons lost their Mother, and that’s a real tough one. Take care of each other through this time of grief and mourning.

My love and best wishes for peace and comfort to you, the boys, the pups and all who love her and feel the loss.

You will always find open hearts here…

I’ve been asked:

Can we send flowers to his wife's service? Would financial donations be helpful? Please tell us all what we can do to help.

I also send a DUMail

No cash or flowers yet thank you the kind words are enough I post today cuz I was alone for bit.

May her memory always be for a blessing.

We are all grieving with you.

from this perspective it was completely unexpected. Peace and love to you and yours Duncanpup.

feel free to DM me any time as I have some experience with a sudden loss (it was my daughter).

This is the 1st I'm hearing of this. I am so saddened for you and your family. From what I see/read you have a great family bond and will pull through this tough time.

in my heart, Duncanpup. 💟

that it kind of felt like getting to know her and really like her so it was a shock for us too. You will carry on because life goes on, and the boys and the new guitar student but of course it won't be the same.
My heart goes out to you, Duncanpup.

This time of year makes it so much harder.

Healing thoughts to you and yours.

I know that if that were to happen to me, I’d sink into a well of misery and devastation.
