Please excuse me as I am at a loss for words today. This morning my good friend Jack Delorenzo had his young wife Barbara Delorenzo pass away at 5:30 AM.
A few weeks ago while we were at the Buick event in Reynolds she became ill all of a sudden. Going from perfect health to an illness we thought nothing of it.. simple stomach cramps and such. I remember him calling Barbara on the phone and telling her to go to the clinic and not wait. She went and they diagnosed it as a simple urinary tract infection.. gave her some meds.. The next few days things start turning in a bad direction. Needless to say, after an emergency operation that needed to be performed... more bad news surfaced on her condition. From this point we have all prayed for her recovery, but the extent of the illness took its toll. To which the outcome came today.
I feel at a loss for words. In a matter of weeks my very close friend has lost is soul mate. He loved his wife beyond imagination. She was young, happy, vibrant, and in perfect health. They have two wonderful children. A beautiful home, careers, jobs, friends, extended families, etc.. She supported him and this hobby 100%. Never had arguements, as perfect a Family as any one could ever ask for.
Most of you know Jack by his open heart felt enthusiasm in helping others in their time of need. He is one of a few people I know that will drop eveything in an instant to help a stranger out. And not ask anything in return.
His loss has been heart felt by me and my family. Its hard to believe this has happened.. i'm still in shock and disbelief. But the sad truth is God has had his say. And She today is in His grace.
Jack, you have been like a Brother to me. I will continue praying for you and your Family in this time of need.
Services will be end of next week. I'll post them.
I'm sorry if I sound a little erratic in my writings, just a hard thing to concieve.
