An amazingly detailed tribute, you'd have to think this was taken from a journal, in which case it's impressive to keep such a record of their life, or maybe Stephen just has a fantastic memory.

It's better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all, but, god damn does it still hurt to move through that loss. I'm glad it was fast and painless for her and her family.

It's a profound thing to lose someone that intertwined in your life. I should know.

I am so sorry for your loss. This is a beautiful and touching tribute and she was lucky to have such a loving husband.

That's neat that she designed their house. When I've seen videos of Wolfram in his house I've always thought it looked an awesome high-class place.

You can feel his love for her. Heartbreaking.

Beautiful tribute. Perhaps a reminder to self to write my own version prior to our passing. Such misfortune to be taken so young.
