Default My sister.

My sister passed away Thursday night after a long battle with MS. I was fortunate to be with her several hours before she died. Please pray for my family. BF

Heart You've Shown Incredible Love and Devotion to Your Sister

Dearest Brokenfriend,

I am saddened for you during this time of loss and grief. I know how much you love your sister.

I am also so very happy for you -- in that you were able to spend time with your sister prior to her passing. I know this has been a concern of yours. You have wanted so very much to be Present with her.

Your sister has endured a lot and you have been so very concerned and incredibly supportive, wanting so much to spend time with her.

You've been a deeply compassionate, devoted, outwardly loving, supportive brother. Your love for your sister has always touched my heart.

You are a compassionate, courageous man, Brokenfriend.

Please take good care of yourself during this time of a huge loss.

I am happy to offer supportive, comforting, healing thoughts and prayers to you and to your family. Thanks for letting us know and for asking for support.
We care about you.

You have My Admiration and My Deepest Sympathies,


DejaVu

Dearest Brokenfriend,
I read your post with great sadness.
May it bring you peace to know you were a good brother.
You obviously loved your sister very much and she was very fortunate to have a brother like you.

Here is a poem that a friend sent me when I lost someone I loved very much.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Diandra

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

God's Garden

God looked around His garden
And found an empty place.
He then looked down upon the earth
And saw your tired face.
He put his arms around you
And lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful
He always takes the best.
He saw the road was getting rough
And the hills were hard to climb,
So He closed your weary eyelids
And whispered "Peace be thine".
It broke our hearts to lose you
But you didn't go alone,
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home.

So sorry to hear of your loss. The best thing a person can do is think of the wonderful things you both have had in the past. My thoughts and prayers are coming you way.
