My oldest brother, Artie, died early this morning and is now in the arms of our Savior. This is a photo taken in Ocean City, NJ in 1998 at the occasion of our first of nine Sibling Reunions. This was the first time we had all been together since 1971. Rest in peace, Artie, we love you and will miss you tremendously.

I’m so sorry to hear such terrible news.
ReplyDeleteStay strong, my prayers for your brother. I pray this is the end of the bad news about both of your families.
That’s a great picture. A good looking family!
Ralph - thanks for your kind comments this morning.

Celeste,
ReplyDeletePlease accept condolences from Darlene and I. I lost my sister last year, so I can imagine what you're going through. You are in our thoughts.

Dear Mike and Rick and Darlene: Thank you for your kindness and prayers. I truly appreciate them. None of my siblings could attend the funeral in Lilburn, GA (outside of Atlanta). My brother and sister in PA are unable to travel for health issues and my sister in LA was under the cloud of Hurricane Isaac. We were in Chicago and the logistics to get me to and from Lilburn were daunting. I am sad about that. My brother knew Christ as his Savior and is in His presence and that's what counts most. Thank you again.
