A bride I made a cake for in June emailed to tell me how wonderful the cake was and that it made the day very special. She said she cherishes the memories because her husband died two weeks after the wedding. The poor dear. I feel terrible for her. That's just not fair. icon_cry.gif

Oh my heart goes out to her and her family. I had a very dear friend in college who's Uncle's new wife died suddenly walking back down the isle after the I Do's. She had a rare form of Epilepsy that is in conjunction with this rare heart condition amd all the adreneline (sp) caused her to seizure and go into cardiac arrest. What a wonderful gesture by her to take the time out to lrt you know that you had made such an impact and to let you know your cake will always be part of the good memories.

Oh that is so so sad. I'm surprised she's up to writing thank you notes. That was so nice of her to write to you. She must have loved the cake. You should be happy that you made them happy.

That's terrible!!! I had a co-worker that lost her husband three weeks after they got married. The worst was when she sent out an e-mail changing her last name, and it was a couple of months after he died. Ugh - that's not fair! Sending her hugs!!

I'm not sure how he died. I wasn't sure if I should ask. I was amazed she sent me a thank you note. She was a great bride to work with.

Oh no I didn't mean to imply you should've asked I wasn't sure if it was a traffic accident or something that would've been on the news.

I was also instantly reminded of the couple that went to another country on their Honeymoon and came back and he almost died from catching something over there.... I can't remember the details... sorry.. but it just popped in when you posted this.

That is terrible and so not fair! Happened to my husband's ex-wife. She married and her husband died 11 days after their wedding. I felt so bed for her.

That's so sad! icon_cry.gif I have a friend who just went to Hawaii a few of weeks ago and she said while she was there, there was a couple who had just got married and they were on their honeymoon. The wife wanted to go shopping downtown so the husband dropped her off and went for a drive. Well all the roads in Hawaii are very curvy and unfortunately the husband missed one of the turns and drove right off a cliff and died! I couldn't imagine!

That is really sad. icon_cry.gif It really makes you realize how quickly life can change- and to not stay mad after a "stupid" arguement with my hubby or anyone, for that matter... life's too short.

That also says a lot about her character, that she thought about your feelings regarding the cake.

That's so sad! I wouldn't know what to say to her. I'm sure sending out thank you's is helping her stay busy. It will probably be much harder when she doesn't have all the "stuff" to keep her mind occupied.

May G-d be gracious to her,
Kathi

oh wow that is sooooooo sad. I just hate to hear stuff like this. What a wonderful lady to keep busy and positive through such a trying time, speaks volumes about her as a person. Clearly her husband made a good choice for a bride.

That is so sad icon_cry.gif Thank God they liked your cake and she will treasure those pictures, and sometimes we complain about little things such as a bad cake batter or a wrong color frosting.....
