Dec 19
Okay, this is going to be really short because I am wiped out. I just found out this morning that my brother died. I have 2 brothers - Mike & Paul. Mike lived in FL with his wife & 2 year old son. Things are going to be up here in NY so tomorrow Paul & I have a lot of stuff to take care of. Oh, & my sister isn’t feeling too well (even before this news) and is seeing her doctor tomorrow.
I’ll be back when I can but that might not be for a bit.

Glad to see you blogging. I’m so, so sorry for your loss!!!!!! I didn’t want to bother you today after Frank called and told me. I figured I’d wait until tomorrow to call you. My thoughts and prayers are with you friend. Anything you need -I’m there. Anything.
Katy & Kim & I were chatting tonight. I felt weird chatting with your friends without you. I’ll call you tomorrow. *hugs*

Monk, I am so incredibly sorry. Anything I can do, you’ve got it. I gave Dolores my number to give to you. 24/7. I feel so helpless, being here. When what I would really like is to be THERE for you…but prayers will go up for your entire family. I’m just so sorry.

Monk, I have no words. This is just terrible, and it’s going to be hard for you all, especially now, with everyone exuding joy, cheer, funfunfun, etc, etc, etc.
I love you and will remember you and your family in my prayers. Take care of yourself during these next trying days. Remember that God will take care of you, too, because you have loved Him.

Dear, dear Monkling: I am shocked and saddened by the death of your brother. You are always in my heart, but now more than ever, along with your family.

My heart goes out to you. I don’t know anything else to say or do. (((((Monkling)))))

I’m sorry this had to happen. I know that being the oldest probably makes you feel like you need to do more…I hope your sister is ok .

Monkling dear,
It’s like a rock has come crashing through a window. How awful this news is and how sorry I am to hear of such a fact; one that most assuredly has brought great pain to your entire family. I wish you all great strength and love.

I had to come back again this morning, dear Monkling, because you were in my mind the minute I woke up. Just had to tell you so.
Much love, always,

Hey Monk–I, too, am just stopping by this morning to let you know I’m thinking of you and continuing with the prayers. Take care today…

Monk, everyone here has said what needs to be said, so I won’t repeat it. Do try to let Frank and the kids take care of you a bit as you go through this. Oldest sisters (besides being blamed for everything
) work hard, take things hard and need love and support, too. My thoughts and prayers are with you and join those of everyone else in a chorus to God that He welcome your brother and shower you and your famiily with love.

Coming back to tell you that you are being thought of today with love and prayers, dear.

Checking in to let you know I’m thinking about you. You and your family will remain in my prayers.
December 20th, 2007 at 5:12 pm Quote
Thanks, everyone. The prayers & support mean so much.

Thought about you all day. Well, not ALL day. But much of the time when I was awake.
Hugs,

I just saw Jer’s note — we just never know with life and I hate that. We look in one direction and get hit from the other direction. Sigh.
Hugs, prayers, thoughts — all with you and your family.
Hugs,
