Karen, My heart goes out to you & your family. I know all too well what it is like to lose a brother or a sister, not to mention the loss your family has endured in the last three years. Remember your loss is shared by those who care and understand. Wishing you God's peace.

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.
