“This has been far and away the most painful period of my life, and our children’s.
At the same time it has been richly rewarding,” she disclosed while reflecting on the tragic loss.
Throughout James' health struggles, Walton never left her husband’s side.
James was diagnosed with metastatic liver cancer and was ultimately given just months to live by his doctors.
Sadly, he passed away three months later.
“41 years ago on our wedding day I kissed the love of my life,” she shared.
“Wherever you are my angel, thank you for it all.”
“Our birthdays are two days apart, so we’d always celebrate together,” she noted.
“It’s been a year since I lost the love of my life.
The actor gushed, “Thank you John James for loving me and sharing your life with me.”
