To the editor:

I read the enclosed letter to the editor (from Cathy Paradise about her husband’s death) and I would like to let Cathy know the pain is as bad or worse when a husband loses his wife. I lost mine to cancer several months ago and I still cannot get over it. The days are bad, but the nights are worse.

I lost a beloved wife, but Heaven gained an angel!

Yours truly,

Albert W. Zehr, Brown County
