Fox News
John Schneider's wife, Alicia Allain, lost her battle with breast cancer in February at the age of 53. Schneider starred in "The Dukes of Hazzard."
"I, of course, told her it was OK," he shared of his final conversation with his wife. "'If you're tired, if you want to go see your grandma, you want to go see your grandpa, if you want to go, then it's OK. You go.' And that was all the truth. … But then I lied, because I said, 'Don't worry about me; I'll be OK.' Caroline Thayer is an entertainment writer for Fox News Digital.

"That was a lie I had to tell, but she knew it. OK is a long way away. The last thing I said to her was, 'I love you desperately, and I've got multiple sets of very long-term plans for you.' And that's true, because eternity's a very long time, and I believe it. I'm counting on it."
