We competed me and the gorgeous Mabird finishing circa 35years past
A real lady of class and warmth loved by by all family and friends

A superb dancer wonderful.mother and grandmother and we were together engaged and married 57 years

The beautiful lovely lady passed away on Friday and for me now the floor is empty no music No lights

Sorry did not mean to be morbid but to celebrate the warm loving life of a graceful lady who once shared the the world of dance

I'm so sorry to hear that, pabird, but it sounds as if you have some wonderful memories to treasure. As well as having a wonderful long lasting marriage, you actually lived the dream of being out there on the ballroom floor rather than just watching from an armchair. Many people will envy you for that.

My condolences.

Pabird, what a beautiful message, despite the terribly sad news.

It sounds like you had a very special relationship and as Spin says, hopefully some wonderful memories.

Sending you condolences at this difficult time.

Condolences at your loss but thank you for sharing memories of what was obviously a happy and successful partnership. What a blessing to have shared such pleasures on the dance floor.

I'm so so sorry pabird and thank you for sharing with us some of the joy you had together. Much appreciated

So sorry to hear your sad news, pabird. You write so lyrically.....Have you thought about writing a short poem along the lines of your third paragraph? It may help you.

That's so sad, pabird - but at the same time, how lucky you have been to share a wonderful relationship of such longevity.

God bless.

This is such a beautiful, but sad, thread, I'm just bumping it back up.

I'm so glad you felt able to share this with us, Pabird. I'm very sorry for your loss.

How sorry I am to hear about your wife.

I can't help but think Mabird would be so proud to hear you speak of her in such a loving way.

You will be in my thoughts now every time I see your name on here as part of the dancing couple who had a long and happy marriage.

My condolences at your loss pabird but at the same time thank you for sharing your beautiful memories of your loving wife with us .... May those beautiful memories help you through this difficult time and help celebrate her life ..... I am sure wherever she is now , she is smiling down on you with pride !

Best wishes for you & the family ....
