    I made the mistake of watching your youtube slideshow at work the other night. I teared up at my cubicle.

    I'm so sorry for your loss.

    Thank you for sharing the story of your beautiful wife in pictures and words.

    I too watched the video, thanks for sharing. She had a beautiful smile, I hope the song is played for you.

    Keeping it bumped up. Just reading through everyone's responses, I'm tearing up. Right not looking at the photo of my grandfather propped next to my tv. He was the person I've loved most in my life, and a year and half later it's only just bearable that I'll never see him again. Anyway, I turn to Other Side when trying to deal with loss.

    Hoosiers, I'll be thinking this Memorial Day of you and your wife. If you need anything, just ask.

    Man....I've watched that beautiful video twice now and I teared up like a baby both times.

    I really hope the guys get notice of this and they play Come Back for Sarah at Wrigley.

    I am so very sorry for your loss. Here's hoping that they play "Come Back" in memory of your beautiful Sarah.

    So sorry for your loss. I couldn't begin to imagine how I'd feel if I lost my wife.

    I wish you peace, strength and clarity in this difficult time.

    I really hope they play Come Back for you. I can't imagine what youre experiencing it was distressing enough just reading about your wife. Really puts things in perspective.

    Once again, I hope they play it for you

    Such a sad story. I hope you get your wish.
    I've been a fan for a long time, and the music has got me through some tough situations, including the loss of my daughter and brother (within weeks of each other). Whatever helps for you to find comfort will help to get you through.
    My only advice is to continue to try make the best of your life..those that you have lost would not want you to miss a second. Life is so precious and short...

    Take care!

    wow, that was sad...celebrate her life and the great times you had, you hit the lottery marrying and building a life with Sarah (so dont waste your money on powerball, hard to hit lottery twice!)
    i hope they play Come Back for both of you... I hope Im there, if I make it to wrigley expect a hug from me for sure.
    be well

    Thanks again everybody. Your words really help.

    Three weeks, one day, and 15 hours ago. And it isn't getting easier yet, I am so sad and missing her more each day.

    I did, however, book the trips to fulfill her wishes. She wanted to be cremated and have her ashes scattered at Yellowstone National Park (various places) and the Atlantic Ocean (near Kennedy Space Center specifically). These are a few places she traveled to multiple times as a child and absolutely loved. I'm flying to Orlando for a few days in mid-June then heading out by car to Yellowstone a day after I return. Her brother and sister are coming with me to Yellowstone, so it should help with the journey out there (25 hours if we went straight there).

    When that's over it'll be less than a month until Pearl Jam in July! Already booked my hotel there on the Mag Mile as well.
