Sad News Today

It's with a sad heart that I tell you, my blog family, that my brother passed away this afternoon. He is 3 years older than me. He had been ill for a long time. He's had diabetes for several years and had been doing dialysis for several years. Today, he was in surgery to remove his lower leg (a complication from the diabetes) when he had a heart attack.

Please keep me and my family in your prayers.

  4. OMG! I am so very sorry Rich! What an awful thing for you and your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

    You will meet your brother in heaven one day, where he no longer has to suffer from diabetes/poor circulation/etc. I'm sure he'll continue to watch over you from above.

    May your memories give you comfort in this very sad time.
    *Soft Hug*
