Default Just a brief announcement...

I've debated over the past couple of days on which to say anything because many of us have not met each other (some have, most haven't). My wife and I were looking for a "work" car to ferry us back and forth from our jobs. That's when we discovered the srt-6. I loved it, but she wanted to sign first. Then, when the supply of n.o.s. srt-6's began to dry up, she said "buy another one, just in case." So, I did. My wife just lost a brief battle with cancer; never did anything to incur such an enemy. Everytime I go out in the garage, I think of her and the unconditional love and support she had for the srt-6's. She was 42.

So young, so alive, so sad. Sorry to hear this. I've lost great grandmother's, grandmothers, mother, mother in law to the same scourge. No one who hasn't seen it can understand. I understand. Words don't exist.....

Oh my - what a great post in memory of your wife. I think that most think of 'men and cars', but there are many females among us who are also into 'special' cars. And you have a wonderful car memory that is connected to your wife. I hope that warm memories may be a comfort to you now.

One of your 'I don't know you' friends, Alicia

Wow. So sad, another cancer battle lost.

Words can't express your pain or our sympathy.

Doesn't matter that we haven't met in person. Just being part of this forum makes you family here. Glad you thought to share your loss with us.

Thinking of you and saying a pray for you and your family.

Sorry for your loss. One of my brothers in law is fighting it right now. And my stepgrandaughter spent 3 years fighting it in her teens.

My thoughts & prayers go out to you and yours...

Wow......when I read a thread like this it really makes one think of how precious life really is.
I'm saddened to hear of the loss of your wife.
Only 42 with so many more years she should have lived.
Having her SRT is probably bitter sweet but if she loved the car that much I'm sure she would want you to keep it.

My deepest sympathy to you and all those who were close to your wife.

Gary

I've been on this forum for nearly 6 years, and during that time there have been several members who have shared their loss of a loved one with those of us here. I cannot tell you what a honor it is to be thought of in this manner.
I couldn't even read your message to my Wife without getting choked up.
Please accept my most sincerest condolances.

We may have never met, but to be able to come on here and share your loss with us is very special. That means both you and your lovely wife loved these cars as much as we do. So our love and sorrow goes out to you, to have had a friend and wife to share these cars with is priceless...that car will always give you sweet memories. She is smiling right now my friend, just knowing how much you care.

Try as any of us might, there are no words which can adequately bring comfort to you as much as your fond memories and the love you have for her. Just know that your extended family is here and our heartfelt wishes are with you.
