Today, at 6pm, my Big Brother, Don passed into heaven from complications starting with pneumonia. I was there, at his side when he passed and I got to tell him, "You can't pick your siblings, but if I could, I couldn't have picked a better Big Brother than You." and that I loved him very much. He was coherent at the time and he responded. Don was surrounded by family when he passed peacefully into Heaven. He lived by the word of God. Now he walks along side Him. Report
I am sorry for your loss. You and your brother were fortunate to have the relationship you did. Sounds like it was very special. UticaGeoff

It's nice you were there for his final moments. Some don't get to. Helps with closure of a loved ones life. Hold on to all the memories!
I was with my father when he passed but he was so far gone I doubt he knew I was there. Your fortunate to have had the opportunity to communicate with him before his passing.
So sorry to hear your brother has passed and so soon after the loss of your step daughter. My prayers and sincere condolences go out to you and your family.
Thank You my Friends. My birth father, whom I never met, taught Don how to repair cars. Don used to come out and help me in our shop. He rebuilt the carb and we did the complete brake system on our '65 Skylark. He and my Sis-in-law drove it in a couple cruises.
My heart felt condolences to you and your brother's family for they'r big loss,our prayers are with you and family.Bruno and family.
