My wife's brother passed this last Wednesday. His death was unexpected and a complete surprise. He was 41 and her baby brother. He had three children. It is very hard to see the person you love the most so upset and distraught; she is staying with him at the funeral home. He is survived his mother, two sisters, a wife, and his children.

They will bury him Monday, next to his father.

it is all very sad....her family is just devastated.


i made a point to call my own sister. Whom I have not really talked with in years, and that has bothered me for some time. It felt good to speak with her. I am going to check on my estate planning so my own family will taken care of should anything expected happen.

very :sad:

After nearing dying twice( Car accident and hand infection) I always hug my wife and two sons( 21 and 24), I tell them I love them( My father was never brought up that way). I try to be kind to my fellow man. It has renewed by faith in Jesus Christ.

Hang in there Ivan, and I pray you find the words to comfort your nieces and nephews.

Being an Uncle isn't always an easy job. . .

My wife came home today. It was foggy all so no planes could land all day. I worked all day, watching the heavy fog outside. I went home.......not feeling great. I put gas in my honda, and looked up, and the fog cleared somewhat. i could see across the river. So I hopped on the Honda and shot up to the runway. I did a loop in the parking pad, and once I turned a 207 caravan dropped out the fog and landed. Just minutes before that plane showed up the fog cleared and lifted. My wife was on board, safe and sound.
