My brother just past away on sunday of cancer. Two week ago I was over to his home,We both share our love for football and talk about the Lions getting to the superbowl. I told him this is the year and we will go to a playoff game together this year. On sat/day morning I got a Lions flag so he could hang it out side his home. bring over Picture of my life so we can get caught up...as I was walking out the door to see him. Jenny call me and said he having a hard time and we would have to put it off....................................sad...............the plan was to have one more great day with my brother!!!

ok....I was thinking I could stop by on sunday and when to bed....

Sunday came

got the call that my borther pass away...........I was a basket case the rest of the day....and was mad at myself for not having that day with them.......why did I not do it on friday...or thursday he was only 15 min's away!!!


I will not have that day back...but he will be in my heart the rest of my life!!!


This weeks for him....

a nice peaceful way to move forward.

Ace,thoughts and prayers headed your way. My condolences to your whole family for the loss of your brother. We went through this 2 weeks ago with my Father-in-Law who I watched the Phillies with every Friday the past 10 years. Take some time for yourself and get away from this for a bit, very hard to concentrate on anything else with his passing and all the preparations that will need to be done this week. Dedicate this week by stepping away and spending time with your wife and his family, see if they need help with the arrangements. Everyone will understand you stepping away, it'll do you good, trust me.
One last thing, having many loved ones pass away, especially on a day you didn't expect causes a lot of folks to want to blame someone and its usually yourself. My wife did it when her mother passed from cancer and we were away. She blamed herself for not seeing her that weekend for along time until I finally convinced her it was God's will she leave that day, not her choice. Think of the good times and memories you had with your brother rather than dwelling on the negative. This is the time to pull together as a family and be there for each other. I wish you peace and hope you consider taking some time off, (Lord knows we all know how hard you work and times like these you need to rest the mind and soul). Take care my brother and I'll be praying for you guys....................Bob

So sorry Ace. LIfe is a miracle, never waste a minute. I just lost a very dear friend in Waycross Georgia 4 weeks ago. I have struggled with the death of many loved ones. I can tell you all, NEVER LET I LOVE YOU GO UNSAID! As I always say to someone who has lost someone to death, IT NEVER GETS BETTER BUT WITH TIME IT WILL GET EASIER. Take care Ace and know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
