Alan,
Bud and I are sending you and your family much love and are so sorry. Yours and Di’s devotion to one another was evident and that love survives for all of us in your songs together. Her voice was inspiring and I could almost see the twinkle in her eye as I listened to her singing.
Peace to you in the coming days,
J&B

Al, so sorry to hear this news. Our prayer is for comfort in this time of sorrow for you and your family.

Thanks, everyone. Your thoughts and comments mean a lot. The prayers and good wishes that were offered have made a difference.
I'm doing reasonably good, I think. This big ole four-bedroom, three-bath house seems a lot bigger without her. But it was the house of her dreams. We had it custom-built to her wishes. I kept my mouth shut and let her pick out everything she wanted, just the way she wanted it. For the record, she had impeccable taste.
Again, thanks to all of you. You're all extended family for me.
Alan

John,
We've crossed paths here at the PG Forums but a few times. However, I've read almost everything you have posted and have become a better musician and composer as a result. Thank you for your insights.
And I appreciate your kind words about Di's passing. Prayers always appreciated.
Alan

Alan,
My heart is sorrowful for you! I have nothing but caring and sympathetic thoughts for you and your loved ones! You and Di have been through such a long and tough battle together! I believe she is at peace and waiting in a wonderful place for you to one day join her! I pray the Lord's blessings and peace will cover you now and give you what you need today!
Take care my brother, Torrey

Good Morning Alan,
I've only become aware of Di's death in the last minute or so.
You are there, were there and have been with Di through more battles than a Roman Legion and through each you found positives to lighten the load, to help raise both your heads in hope.
Your muse is still with you in ever memory and every moment.
I hope you've the strength for the next phase and after ward as well.
Thinking of you, listening to your music.
Look after yourself.
Cheers
rayc

Dear Alan
What very sad news to read coming back to the forum after quite a break. May Di rest in peace, no longer in pain. Take care and look after yourself. You must be exhausted. You always struck me as a wonderful and loving couple with a exceptional bond due to a shared love of creating music. That was so precious and I hope it will bring you some solace in this terrible time for you.

My heart goes out to you, Alan.
I'll remember Di as a super person with a super voice and this is such sad news.
Take care of yourself and you're in my thoughts.

Many thanks to each and every one of you who left all those encouraging and supportive comments. It truly makes a difference. I wish i had time to go back and leave a personal reply to everyone, but that probably won't happen as I just don't have that much time. But please know I've read each of them, more than once, and I truly appreciate you folks. But know that every comment gave me strength and determination. What a community we have here! Also, tomorrow I'm going to post a link on this thread to a music video featuring Di. I lost not only my precious wife, but our dog, Lucy, also passed in February. She was the last thing our oldest son gave to Di before he passed three months later. She was very special. They're both in the video. The two most precious and gorgeous ladies in my life - together on one video. Again, I offer sincere appreciation for your kindness during this difficult time. Alan PS: I just pulled up the video, so here it is: https://www.singsnap.com/#/d/listen/1270897This was done in 2015, almost exactly ten years ago.
