BookReview.com:
The author’s memories are fresh and detailed. We—more fortunate—gloss over our lives and in the process lose those bits and pieces that make it special. This book got me thinking about my own life. How I also met my wife through “the personals,” our first date, our wedding, the joys and challenges we have faced. By any standards Chad Moutray does a good job. The narrative is clear, honest and, because we know tragically where this is leading, very moving. …. This is not the kind of book a major publisher would produce. What a shame, but how wonderful that advances in technology now makes it possible for real people to write real books for other real people. The story of their love is heartwarming. Thanks, Chad. And thank you, Laura.

An outstanding tribute to your loved one. Laura is definately an angel right now. I feel we are both kindred spirits. My first wife left earth over 20 yrs. ago due to breast cancer. I wrote a short story about her that took almost 20 years for me to get out. It is called "A Slice of a Short Life" on my website.
God bless you my friend.
