Brad, I share in the grief you feel. In the last two months, I have lost three neighbors here. One from old age-aneurysm. A sweet little old guy who looked like a garden gnome statue and who hurt no one. A young woman of 32 with a young son from respiratory failure. A 74 year old man, gunned down by this brother who is now a fugitive.
Life is brief and each moment special.

Sorry Brad. Good idea to remember not his death, but his life.

It's so much better to hold on to the smiles and laughter shared in better days. I'm very sorry for your loss.Brad, but the pain of loss fades ,while good memories live on.
Prayers sent your way.

Condolences. Most everyone I was close to is gone, from sweet nephew who drank himself to death to a US Circuit Court Justice. I remember them the way they were. I remember my mom, shelling peas and bouncing with excitement watching Roger Marris hit a home run. It's a bittersweet life. I believe that we will see them again.

Sorry to hear about this Brad, it should give us pause to consider those that we hold dear and may be gone soon.
