First of all I wish to send my condolences and best wishes to Anasstasia and Lance's families.

My main reason for replying here is that whether Anasstasia knows it or not, she is Blessed and has GOD watching over her.

There is a law which the INS enforces quite vigorusly and with not much caring,  that says that if the spouse has not been married 2 years; then the spouse will be deported. I looked at the timeline on Lance's web page and maybe Lance was aware of this also, but they were married legally in the U.S. 2 years and one day before he passed away. This will ensure that if Anasstasia decides to stay in the U.S., she can without any problems from the INS.

You can't tell me that someone wasn't watching out for them in this very trying and sad time period.

May God Bless all you guys out there who have a RW who are still searching for that special one.

Judges have ordered well over 100,000 illegal aliens deported but the INS won't spend the money to deport them.  I doubt they will deport somebody that legally entered and lost her husband to cancer when they have bigger fish to fry.

I posted this comment based on experience. My wife and I had a RW friend who had her husband die after 9 months marriage and she was deported. That was the reason I made this comment.

Sad but true.

Millions of illegal aliens in the USA and they chose to deport someone under those circumstances.  She probably didn't have enough money to get a decent lawyer and fight it or maybe she didn't want to stay with her husband gone. The money from his estate could go a long way in Ukraine.  Or she might have been worried about getting by in the USA by herself and she might have not had a green card.

Don,
did she get her conditional green card before he died? Which can be a matter of months or even a year or two depending where she lives. The reason I ask is that once she has the first green card it is rather simple to stay here regardless of marriage or death.

With all due respect, I prefer not to have God watch over me, if it might result in an untimely and premature death. I'll put my faith in science and medicine, it's more predictable.

With all due respect to science and  medicine: I would prefer to have G-d looking over me too.  I was involved in a serious motor vehicle accident. The doctors told my father that night that I was going to die.  I'm here to tell you about it.  I had both science and G-d looking out for me that night.

Did your God "look away" while your serious accident was taking place? Maybe he thought you deserved this. It pains me to stoop to this level of juvenile discussion. Man and his Gods, when will sanity arrive?

Rick,

You show plenty of disrespect. I would think in an offer of sympathy that there remains little place for your view on Religon. I mean you have a right to say and think these things.....I just think its an incredably wrong place to express them.

I didn't notice that they were married on 21 feb.2000. Lance was in a coma for 6 days, he hung in there just sufficient to make sure his wife wasn't deported.

Condolences to Anastassia and his family.

It is simply incredible that certain people, as Lance,
have a way to do everything right for others,
even in death.  He surely was always a winner.
What an example  he is for all of us.
Not was,  but is.

I am stunned by this personal tragedy. My heart goes out to Anasstasia, her son, and Lance's family. We just lost one of our own...
