With great sadness
I more than likely will not be at TnT this year. My Darling wife Danette is losing her battle with lung cancer(stage four) and it is looking like her life spirit will leave myself and our family before to long. I hope everyone has as great a time as Danette and I did last year. I will be thinking about all of you.

Jerry, I'm so sorry. I don't know you, or Danette but your brief words convey much love and pain.
When cancer took my mother I contemplated who she was and what she left me with and was grateful that for however brief a time she was my mother. Perhaps when the unfortunate happens, contemplate on what you both had together and while perhaps for a time too brief but hopefully it was full of beauty.

Jerry,
I'm so sorry to hear of Danette's illness; I really enjoyed meeting the two of you at last year's TnT. You both will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Life is too brief. I'm sorry your wife is leaving this existence for the next. It is my belief you will be reunited. May God bless and comfort you all.

I am very, very sorry to hear that news.

Yesterday at 8:33am my Darling Danette lost her battle with cancer. I will miss her everyday for the rest of my life. I do know that her pain suffering is over now. Thanks for the caring and concern you all have shown.
