Week 368 “The passing of my best friend, my lover , my wife of 47 years”

I am sitting in the kitchen with our cat listening to my son in the bedroom getting dressed and my daughter in the shower with out my best friend, lover, wife of 47 years.

Jill passed away peacefully in her sleep on Saturday 6th April

I am consoling myself with the thought she is no longer suffering and is finally at peace.

She truly is our MSA Angel

We are holding a service to celebrate Jill’s life at

Mason Park Funerals – 95 Mason Street – Wangaratta 3677

on Friday 12th at 2pm

Refreshments will be served afterwards

    Our thoughts are with you always.
    You need to tell what a beautiful end it was as though Jill had planned it all. She said her goodbyes,had a kiss good night and hen flew away ,the angel that she was.She doesn’t want you to be sad. You both fought the battle.

    I am so sorry to read of Jill’s passing. I have been diagnosed with MSA 6 years now (at age 44) and was not allowed in the Rifampicin study so my doctor prescribed the medication for me anyway, (no placebo). I do think it helped for a while, but the tremors have returned lately and typing this is not easy. God Bless You for standing by and aiding your wife through this difficult stage of her life. At this time I take care of my 87-year-old invalid mother and every day tell myself I have to keep going for her, and I do. She gives me a reason to get up and face the day and that in itself keeps me going. You are an angel here on Earth, Mac. I hope the next part of your life will be spent with your wonderful children and even greater grandchildren!
    Cordially,
    Bill C.

    Hi Mac, I read you and Jill’s story today and is now deeply touched. My husband was diagnosed with MSA since 2011 and he is getting weaker. Reading your story I feel that Jill are you are both very lucky, finding each other with deepest love. There is always a reason to carry on. Jill has physically left us but she will be always in the minds of the people that really care, like you. My blessings are with you.
