Brother Gone

Jan Trinks

Hi all:

Basketcase checking in. First, let me say a big thanks to all of your comments, prayers, etc. My brother Richard did pass away at about 3:30 this afternoon. I talked with my sister-in-law last night and she told me this was very hard, a lot harder than she expected. I well know what she means and how she feels. Even though we knew Charlie's situation was not good, we still didn't think he would go as soon as he did and it was a shock. And I just realized with Richard's passing today; it is exactly 8 weeks ago today that Charlie passed away. This is just a little too much to bear, but will make it through because of GOd first, my friends and family and especially y'all, my csn buds (that's what I refer to y'all as). This network is so fantastic and such a comfort to me now and always. Take care. I wish there could be some sort of csn bud gathering or reunion. Y'all are so very dear to me. Love as always, thanks once again and please continue to be in prayer for my brother's family and the rest of us! God Bless!
