With deep emotion, he shared, “Being able to spend those nine days and nights with her was an incredible blessing. They were the most extraordinary days of my life, and I’m incredibly grateful. Even though I was holding her hand and her head when she took her last breath, it’s still hard for me to believe that she’s gone.”
