My brother died today.

Sunny Daze - I just talked to my sister and they’re planning to release his body today or tomorrow for cremation. My guess is they didn’t do an autopsy, although I’d think a death at home from unknown causes would warrant one. I’d rather they did one - he has kids, and we have enough genetic crap in the family, it would be good to have a cause of death.

You have my sympathy, StG. Losing a sibling is like losing a big part of your history.

If there is anything those of us who are local can do for you, please pm one of us.

I’m so sorry about your brother, StGermain.

My sincerest condolences.

I’m very sorry for your loss.

Thanks for letting me know about this. I’m so sorry for your loss.

How sad. I am very sorry for your loss.
mmm

Dude went out like a Hero. Wish I’ll be as lucky.

Could only be better if he had his boots on and a beer in his hand. That’s why I always wear my boots and keep a beer in my hand.

My sincerest condolences to your family and his.

How horrible. Condolences to you and your family.

Just seeing this. I’m so very sorry for your loss. (((hugs)))

I’m so sorry to hear it, St Germain. My bro has had health issues and his death wouldn’t be unexpected and it would still be a blow. I can’t imagine the shock for you.

May the angels lead him into paradise;
may the martyrs receive him at his arrival and lead him to the holy city Jerusalem.
May choirs of angels receive him and with Lazarus, once a poor man, may he have eternal rest.

Condolences from our family to yours.

My brother’s memorial was yesterday. A nice service, I guess. A little heavy on the maudlin country music. The funeral home has a horse-drawn glass hearse. (Not for my brother, but at the funeral home) They use it about 8 times a year, the guy said. Now I’m making plans for my funeral! I’m going to put the fun in funeral.
