Hello there old friend. Losing our loved ones is so painful, it really hurts, and it shocks our system. But I know my beautiful brother is at peace now, no more pain or sorrow.
It was Mike's time, he fought the good fight, and he will be missed.
At our age, we must remain stronger than ever because we know that not one of us can skirt death. It's the memories of a good life, well lived with love and joy that will remain.
Have a blessed and beautiful day.
Warm greetings to you Lady Robin.
You are so right and the shock and hurt is always so sudden. Mike is indeed in a much better place, and he certainly deserves a peaceful rest. I am absolutely sure that you guys did all for him that you could during his journey on this earth. The good memories will always remain.
We do indeed have to appreciate every moment, as we draw closer to our departure every hour.
Our prayers are with you guys.

Thanks for those encouraging words and also all the prayers.
We are having a memorial service for my brother Mike on Saturday, a mass said in our childhood church, St Francis of Assisi, Roman catholic. Then a quiet luncheon with close family. I know it will be a tearful day, but I will go home peaceful because I know he is with the Lord and his heavenly family.
What can I say Lady Robin, as things are very emotional and difficult during these times.
The final goodbye at the memorial service is only meant for this life, as the greetings will come again, with much delight, when we are all re-united in our real home. We have to remember that we are all just on a temporary journey in this world and much greater things await after our departure.
We will be with all of you in spirit on Saturday and all strength to you.
