Hey guys, well, Joe didn't make it even 2 months, he passed on Sunday, about a week after they said he was terminal.
Of course, we are only experiencing this by phone through our family members that are there but it was so emotional and traumatic. I cried when Rachel (Joes' wife) put his ear to the phone and Michael said to him "I love you Brother, I'll see you on the other side", she said Joe just nodded, he was no longer able to speak. He also said goodbye to his children, 4, 7 and 10. Just hearing about that hurt so much.
I am very happy that he is no longer in pain though-we are all grateful for that. I'm also happy that his parents made it back there in time only a couple hours before he passed.
Michael has been on a bit of a drinking binge since it happened, which I don't mind, he has to do wahtever it takes to get by. He has been in charge of everything on the west coast as they are in Baltimore.
We will have some kind of Memorial when they get back.
Love you all so much and hope you're well-J

Oh J, I am so sorry to hear about Joe. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. Here's a BIG hug! It's very hard losing a brother. Hope Michael is able to talk about it. It's hard to get through the pain by yourself. My heart goes out to you, Michael and Ian. Hugs, D

JJ, you know I have already given condolences thru email to you when this happened. I am concerned about Michael though. I hope he is not driving while he is drowning his sorrows in booze? This is not a good way to grieve sweetie. Please keep a watchfl eye on him and don't let his drinking get out of hand. This is not another problem you ned to add to your life. You know I am not criticizing, just trying to give advice. I am not a drinker, and it is easy for me to say drinking doesn't solve anything. I am sure he is trying to numb the pain of his brothers death, but he has to face the reality that it happened eventually, so why not not now? I love you, Auntie M

Oh I am so sorry to hear of you loss! It's good that every body had the chance to say goodbye, hopefully he didn't suffer too much. 2008 has been a tough year so far. We kept hoping it would be better than '07 but haven't really seen much of an improvement yet. Hang in there honey, we will make it together..hugs jilly
