Default My great loss.

While nothing has happened to my Stingray my better half Cheryl passed away last Thursday. I've owned the car for 43 years and she has been a part of my life for as long as that. She loved the fact that the car was a part of our lives and enjoyed riding and being around it more than I did. I will miss her more than anything else in the world. I use to laugh when she said I loved the car more than her, I hope she never believed that. Goodbye Cheryl.

So sorry for your loss. She has just been called home. Stay strong and remember that she will be waiting for you when your time to return home comes. God bless.

Doug, I lost my wife of 42 years about 5 years ago. I’ve sit in the same seat you’re in. In time the pain will ease some. Just keep the memories close. My heart goes out to you. PM me anytime you need to talk. Bill P.

I am very sorry to hear of your loss. We all cherish these old cars but they are just that, old cars. The people we meet and share them with are much more important in my opinion. Keep the memories alive and take a quiet ride alone to recall and enjoy those times.

Heartbreaking. She joked about your affair with the fiberglass mistress. Sounds like she loved it too. One thing to think of. Would you have her suffer this pain? And make her deal with figuring how to go through life without you?

Sorry for your loss. While you will never stop missing Cheryl the memories will last forever. She is looking down on you. When you look up smile.
