Suzanne Somers’ husband, Alan Hamel, penned a heartfelt poem for her, wrapped in her favorite pink peonies, before her passing. In the note, he expressed his deep affection, struggling to find words that truly encapsulated his feelings. Hamel reflected on their 55 years together, emphasizing their inseparability for the last 42 years of marriage. Even the simple act of holding hands while asleep felt insufficient. He wrote:
“STARING AT YOUR BEAUTIFUL FACE WHILE YOU SLEEP DOESN’T DO IT.”
Hamel admitted that traditional expressions of love fell short in describing his profound emotions. He playfully remarked on the limitations of language, stating that even Oxford scholars couldn’t capture what he felt. Ultimately, he settled on the phrase “Us” to convey their unique bond.
Suzanne Somers, known for her resilience against breast cancer, passed peacefully in her Palm Springs home at 77, surrounded by loved ones. Despite her battle, Somers remained grateful for the support of her husband and family. She thanked her fans for their unwavering love and support, vowing to continue fighting until the end. Somers’ legacy will be celebrated in a private ceremony, honoring her life and the love she shared with Alan Hamel.
