With Great Sadness ...

It is with great sadness, I share with blogland friends and readers, the death of my beloved husband Eddie. He touched so many lives, was a very special husband and soul mate. A great Dad and Grandad too; the family have so many wonderful memories of time spent together.

With regard to this blog he was a firm believer in the lower carb lifestyle, and how dietary changes can help with diabetes. 

Rest in peace my darling Eddie

All my love Jan

Oh my Jan, so sorry to read this so sad news. Thinking of you at this time.
Memories last forever.

This is a poem written by David Romano... I hope it helps you when you read it.

'When tomorrow starts without me and I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me;
I know how much you love me,
As much as I love you,
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart,
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here, in your heart.'

All the best Jan xoxox and hugs
