Pat,
I am so sorry to hear of your brother's death. As one who also buried her little brother and parents, I understand your sorrow at this time. May God grant you His Peace and Grace, and may Mary, our Mother under the title of Our Lady of Prompt Succor, hold you in her arms as she did Her Son to bring you comfort.
