Mike, I wish you comfort and healing for your profound loss. It may seem like nothing will ever fill the hole left by a loss of one who is indeed so mush a part of us. I hope Julie's spirit will continue to dwell and fill your heart. Thanks for sharing this touching tribute. It is these small things that keep the spirit and memory of our departed alive. Sincerely, Jerry

Thank you for your kind words Jerry. It means so much. She will always be in my heart and in my memories.

Hi Mike, I have not read the Description, but only saw the beautiful piece of jewelry. Therefore, I write my comment new. Also I have suddenly lost my dear wife a year ago. She died suddenly, without warning, to a brain hemorrhage. I wish you much strength for the coming period. Think they continue with a lot of love to your beloved Julie. And they create more such beautiful art. Greetings from Werner.

Thank you Werner. I lost her in one month but was fortunate to have that time with her. I am sorry for your loss too, it must have been such a shock. I usually render automotive art but I will continue to render jewellery as well as she loved it.

I am so sorry for your loss. Know that she loves this wonderful gift you gave to her here. May your heart find comfort.

Thank you so much, she loved collecting jewellery and candles and I will post these in her memory.

Hi Maxidyne; Lucien sent me a site mail telling me of your loss. I'm sad to hear of it. 25 years is a long time. Yet I'm glad you had this last month to be with her and to say good-bye. Cancer is a bastard - creeping silently and then surprise! Here I am to take you! I wish I knew how to help you through this period of mourning. But, may I suggest being creative so you don't plunge into depression (which is all too easily done). I haven't had the joy/privilege to have a wife, but I recall when my mother died. That was heavy for my brother (who found her) and me. So I fully understand how you feel. If you need someone to write to, you can drop me a site mail. There are also others who are "rooting" for you - you're not alone!

Keep up your good work at Rendo! Looking forward to see more from you. :-)

Thank you T.Rex. Sadly cancer does just pick who it wants. She worked in care homes since leaving school and devoted so much of her time to helping others.

I am so sorry for your loss. I can't say that time will heal the wound but in time the pain will balance with the memories you have of her.

Thank you.

I just read the news. my condolences for your loss. way too many people lose their life to cancer. I wish you to have strength through the holidays

Thank you. Yes her sister also had cancer but pulled through.

You know my thoughts, Mike. Just glad to see you getting back on the horse. Hang in there buddy!!!

Thanks Dave. Rendering is helping me cope.

This is some truly beautiful work, so sorry to hear. In 1988 I lost Sue, my beautiful wife of 16 years to pancreatic cancer. My second wife's name is Julie, hang in there Mike!

Thanks mate, As Richard points out, It takes so many loved from us but it's my aim to keep fighting it through fund raising so not to let it win. Take care of each other.

Mike, I can't comment this picture, you understand why... But this is the most beautiful gift that you could make for Julie!

Words are not necessary my friend, you have helped me more than you will ever know.

My prayers and condolences go out to you and your family.

Thank you Dan.
