Mary went by the name Sherry. She had been battling Stage 3c Ovarian Cancer and Stage 3b colon cancer for 31 months. She never complained. She never was in a bad mood.
The 31 chemos caused neuropathy in her hands and feet and caused nausea, weakness, loss of hair, and caused loss of appetite. She never complained! For her chemotherapy infusions, she had to sit for up to 8 hours, enduring painful arthritic problems in her knees, feet and toes. Never complained.
She had a painful dry eye condition and was extremely sensitive to the light. Never complained. She cared more for others than she did herself. She was always worrying about how I was doing, even though she was fighting with such a nasty, unrelenting, unforgiving disease, cancer.
When younger she was an impressive dancer and set the dance floor on fire doing the twist, or the frug, or the pony. She was very clever and inventive, and had great planning skills. When we had a project to do, she used to drive me crazy frequently checking with me to see if I was following the steps correctly.
She was also an amazing mother, raising our adopted son Robby.
Above all Sherry made me a very happy husband for 58 years. When I told her that I wasn't as strong as she was, and asked her how she could continue to fight the cancer, she would merely say "I am not ready to go".
This world, and my world, had just lost a genuine, caring, strong, resilient woman. Sherry passed away June 29th, 2023 at 11am. I've loved her deeply for 58 years, and I will continue loving her and missing her.
