Laura, I'm so sorry.
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Aw Laura, I'm so sorry.

I’m so sorry for your loss, Laura. Glad he could be around so many loved ones when he passed.

Our wings are not tired.
First, you already know Brendon is a superhero but once again he came through. A couple days ago I was telling him how we couldn’t get my sister Judi to see Jim because his room was up 4 stairs and she can’t do any. He went and bought lumber, built a ramp, with 3 others hauled her and her wheelchair up so she could be with him. Drove the round trip (6 hours) to do just that then came back and did it again the next day picking us up at airport and staying with us until the end.
Second, my brother has a complex familial history. Children with 4 women (that we know about) and stepchildren. Grandchildren with various kids and stepkids. Also in his large emotional Italian family many estrangements. Let’s just say writing his obituary is hysterical as we try various vaguespeak. We’ll figure it out but right now we are mocking his life choices. (We are omitting his two predeceased brothers in law from my branch)
