Brother
My brother just died after months of battling Mesothelioma (asbesto related cancer) ....... this forum is providing me with a much needed diversion. I sooo appreciate it. Joey  _________________ "Art is a blade of grass ... and in a moment I will eat it." |

Re: Brother
Thank you, everyone. Ernie was almost 72 - my big brother. He was diagnosed in late December, at stage 4! They gave him a year, maybe. But then, to add insult to injury, in February he tripped and broke his neck in four places. Very fast downhill after that. Well, at least he was home when he passed, with his family. I miss him............. _________________ "Art is a blade of grass ... and in a moment I will eat it." |

Re: Brother
Thank you. The memorial yesterday was beautiful. My brother was the local AAA towing person in this neck of the woods for 20+ years, and he had helped literally hundreds of people - for minor things like locking the keys in the car to serious things, like wrecks, etc. So many people had storys relating to AAA. And yes - lots of laughter among the tears. It was a beautuful event. I thank everyone for your kind words! _________________ "Art is a blade of grass ... and in a moment I will eat it." |
