Sorry to hear of your loss Old Bear. I can't imagine your pain, but pray that the good Lord give the comfort that only He can provide for you and yours in this time of loss.
Add another tear in the pool of sorrow, my very deepest sympathy to you Fred and family. God grant you peace and healing of spirit. Keep your chin up, keep your family close.
One of my longtime friends just lost his wife to cancer as well. My prayers are for God's comfort and His peace that passes understanding for you and your family, old bear.
