So sorry to hear of your loss. Having recently lost my mother (and caregiver during my rehab) and knowing she was going to die, I know what you're going through.
All the kind words, thoughts and prayers from our AN family helped me a lot. We will all keep you in our thoughts.

Hi,

Sorry for the loss of your brother, I too lost a brother to a brain tumor at the age of 49 back in Oct of 08,  He left a wife and three children.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Anne Marie,

I am so sorry to hear about your brother. It is hard to understand why when things like this happen. I hope you can take solice in knowing he is at peace and not suffering. But, I know, it doesn't make it much easier. Take care!

Thank you everyone for your kind words of support.  The funeral was a military one, I have never seen anything so beautiful and moving.  At the reception a colleague song Danny Boy and there wasn't a dry eye in the mess hall. 

My cousin from Michigan stayed with us and returned for home late yesterday afternoon.  I am so tired today.  My entire body aches, so I am lying low today. 

Once again thank you for your kind words and support,
