He didn't want to cause any bad feelings. To be a stroke is an honor, and he was willing to forego it for a time because he felt it would be a better team decision. I think that is reflective of the kind of kid he was.

He knew what had to be done, and you didn't have to tell him what to do. There was never any doubt that everything would be taken care of. He was very reliable and very responsible.

He was the type of guy that brought a little more sunshine into your day whether it was cloudy or sunny already. I had been thinking about his smile and his infectious laugh from reading all the articles, and they're all so true.

It?s quite an honor to be alongside people like this, and it means so much to be asked to be there. I am quite flattered these are two icons been around an awful long time, and I don?t think anybody is going to come close to (their) records.

Everybody has different feelings and I think that ... our definitions of love and marriage and honor change as we get older, as we learn more, as we learn things about each other. So it's an ever- changing lesson.

We honor your grace, your own courage and, above all, the great love that you gave your husband.
