Guest guest Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Lynn, that's a heartbreaking story. I'm deeply saddened by the news of your brother's death. I know you had been very worried about him. Sometimes those miracles never come. He was so young. It's good that you were able to say your good-byes at least. I hope you'll be able to find peace. My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family. I'll tell you where to go!

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Dear Lynn: I am so sorry for your loss of your brother. I know the pain you feel. I lost my brother in 91 from Leukemia. He was never sick a day in his life. He was a wonderful brother too. When I had my kidney transplant in 86 he was right there for me. Then 10 years after he died we lost his wife my s-i-l from Scleroderma. That was hard to deal with too. My Mom died in 79 from breast cancer so it is just me and my Dad and he is 91. Well, I didn't mean to tell you my troubles, since you have enough of your own. I am sorry once I get started I just rattle on. Please try to be strong and take care of yourself. God bless you. Sincerely, Colletti Anjillah@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Tawny, Thank you for your note. I will always miss him. I don't think this is something I will ever get over. Terry and I were close. Right now I have necklace on he gave me for valentines day. I didn't wear it when he gave it to me, I tend to lose jewelry. I feel I should take it off before I loss it, but for now I just want it close to me. Thank you I appreciate your note.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Hi June, As a child my brother was the funniest little kid I ever saw. I remember one Christmas, he was about three. My parents bought him a little tool box. Well he took the hammer and hit and broke every Christmas tree ball on the tree. My older brother, sister, and myself thought it was the funniest thing. He was always getting himself into trouble. Funny thing was he always got caught and most times he was trying to help someone. He had a good and generous heart. Thank you for your note. There are times in the day when I feel so bad. I believe this time is harder than when he first died. LYnn June Dixon wrote: > Dear Lynn, I am so very sorry to read about your loss.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Your right Noreen, he will never leave me. I have loved him since the first time I saw him and you can't turn that off.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 Tess, Thank you for writing what you did. I just keep reading it, it means a lot to me. They were very special words and I thank you. I am sorry you are not feeling well, you are in my prayers. Congratulation on the weight loss. You should be very excited, I think it is wonderful.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 Thank you a, your words mean so much to me. You know we would all get mad at him because he wouldn't stop smoking. I honestly believe he couldn't stop, he just didn't have the ability to do this. I pray that your will be able to quit. Smoking does so much more damage to a body than we know. Right now I have a aunt who has to have her arteries cleared out. They told her it is due to the fact that she smoked for years. Lynn a54 wrote: > Lynn, > I¹m so sorry that your brother died.

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2004 Report Share Posted August 12, 2004 Hi, Thank you for writing it means a lot to me. You have lost so many special people in your life. I feel so bad for you. I don't think anything dulls this awful pain. I just try to keep thinking of all the fun times with my brother. I try not to cry anymore. One thing I miss is not getting emails from him. He use to send me email and say just wrote to tell you I love ya. I will forever miss that. Again thank you for you note.
