Sorry for your loss, Paul. You are fortunate to have been loved by and to have 
loved such a lovely woman.

At the risk of sounding glib at such a moment a few phrases from a Facebook 
post a couple days ago that struck me as right about grief: 

"My scars are a testament to the love and the relationship that I had for and 
with that person. And if the scar is deep, so was the love....Scars are a 
testament that I can love deeply and live deeply and be cut, or even gouged, 
and that I can heal and continue to live and continue to loved.”
