Dear Janice, Anytime is a difficult time to lose a loved one but during the Christmas season it is the hardest. Sometimes we forget that we all belong to the Father and He decides when He will take us back to Himself. I know you loved your brother but God loved him first. My heartfelt prayers go out to you and your family.
