It is with profound sorrow, the utmost respect, infinite admiration, and the deepest love that we honor and mourn the passing of the wonderful, dapper, brilliant, clever, ingenious, witty, enthusiastic, and unique John Quin-Harkin, beloved husband of our darling Rhys Bowen.
He left this life peacefully, wrapped in affection, and surrounded by those who love him.
There is a change in the universe now, but he lives on in our love and memories.
And our hearts are broken for his dear family--he was part of our family, too.

ReplyDeleteThoughts and prayers, while well intentioned, are meaningless in a time like this, Nor can I share the anguish and pain that Rhys must be going through now. Eventually though, the pain diminishes but never fully dissipates, to be replaced by memories of love, laughter, and good times. And that is my wish for Rhys and her family.
