Default you guys were right

I want to thank EVERYONE for the kind words, prayers and advise.
I checked in with my Dr today, and I do have a new infection in my blood and I needed treatment TODAY, which I got.
I'm now on my way to see my wife at her hospital and my Dr set it up so I have the use of a wheel chair as my legs are giving out from the infection and the stress.
Becky is in a coma, and things are simply horrible.
I have our two daughters, various family and friends helping out.
I'll keep you all posted.
Thanks and God Bless,
Bill Hedin

Bill, my wife went thru a serious medical issue 4 years ago and now is doing well. It would be nice if we could pass by Cashman's for a soda and talk. I hope that you and your wife are as fortunate as my wife and I.

Default Becky Hedin, 1954-2012, Rest In Pace my dear wife

Becky passed away this evening at 6 PM at the Mass General Hospital.
She was surrounded by friends and family, and she is now in Heaven with God.
I miss her and I am completely devastated.
I can't begin to tell you the sorrow I feel. She was my entire life, and I love her so much. I miss her and I'm making the funeral arrangements now. I have my work cut out for me working to finance the expenses of the coffin, wake and funeral.
I'll probably be selling every card I own to pay for this, but she deserves a big send off.
I'll post funeral and wake details tomorrow. You can email me at: bh3443@aol.com or write me at:
Bill Hedin, 3 Murray Rd, Framingham, MA 01701
Thank you all for your help and I love you all.
Regards,
Billl Hedin

I have been avoiding opening up this thread because I just didnt want to see the news I now see. Bill, I dont know you other than reading your posts here on the boards and by what others have said about you. My heart goes out to you and your family and, although words at this time cannot help ease your pain, my thoughts and prayers are with you right now.

Dear Bill,
I'm not sure I have the words to express how deeply sorry I am for you. You have been dealing with the most horrible illness for the longest time, and have handled it with grace and courage the whole way through. Now you have been dealt a terrible blow and have lost the most important person in your life. My heart goes out to you, and I want you to know that my wife and I have you in our thoughts. You have to find a way to stay strong so that you can maintain your health in this very difficult time. I truly believe you have the strength to do it, and you know you have the support of the entire Net54 community.

With deepest sympathy,
Barry

Andrew said this very well. I only know you on the boards, Bill, but I can certainly send you my prayers and best wishes at this trying time for you. Just know that your wife is with you always and that everyone is here for you.

You can make it through this. Stay strong.

Default Thank you, my friends

Thank you all so much. I truly appreciate your prayers, kind words, and help financially with paying for the services.
It's been a difficult week, and I will get through the services this week.
Being alone is extremely difficult and when my daughters go back home, I'll be alone with my 2 dogs.
However, I have many blessings like my family and awesome friends here on Net54. I am fortunate to have this in my life.
I'm going to the funeral home now to finalize everything and I'll post the details for any one locally that can attend.
In closing, if it was Becky posting that I had passed away, it would not be a shock. However, for me to post this it is a shock because my wife was never sick, had no bad habits and was in great health.
I have to say, you just never know.
Thank You,
Bill Hedin
