My Beautiful Wife Marcie

My beautiful wife Marcie lost her battle with cancer this past week and passed away on Monday October 4, 2010 in the mid afternoon. My daughter Susanna and I were by her side.

She fought hard, but in the end it was too overwhelming.

She was a great wife, 21 years of putting up with, and supporting, and participating in both the Club and the Show, was an accomplishment. She wasn't thrilled with that accomplishment---but she gave me the space to put the Show on, and to keep the Club going and she let me indulge in this hobby I love as much as I wanted. She was a great wife.

We will continue.

I miss her so much.
