Last night was my first trip to Gilda’s Club as a member. Both Sabrina and I had done some volunteer work at Gilda’s, but now that Sabrina has passed away I attended a meeting for people who lost their spouses to cancer.
None of it is easy, but I think it helps to be around others who have had similar circumstances. So thank you to all the others at the club for helping me along.
For Sabrina’s prayer card at her memorial service, I used some of the lyrics from the Triumph song “Fight the Good Fight” written by Rik Emmett about fighting cancer.
Rik heard that Sabrina crossed over, and sent this note.
With sadness, I have learned of your wife Sabrina's passing. Although I did not know her, I recall the depth of your spirit through your interview style, and your comprehensive passion for the music. I know this must be a terrible, difficult time for you, as you are a caring and sensitive person.
I only wish to express my sincere condolences to you, and to your family and friends. I hope you can find some small measure of comfort in the fact that many hearts and souls are reaching out to you now, in a time of sorrow. I also hope that music will help you find your way back to times of joy, celebrating the gift of life, which you had the great fortune to share with someone you loved deeply.
Sincerely,
Rik Emmett
