I just got a call that my brother died last night.

He had been ill for several months, but I was not expecting this.

It was not COVID.

I can't post anything more today.

Really sad to hear the bad news, Rick. Saw Chris' comment on the previous post but, thought he was talkin' about the photos and how hung the dude is. Silly me. 🙄

RIP

Rick,
I was sad to learn about your brother. I miss my family but rainbows follow rain. Happiness does return. You've gifted us with a huge "stack" of photos to look through. Be sure to take your time to return. Hugs.

Rick -- sorry to hear about your Bro -- and only just over a year since your mother died -- all that is inevitable and heart-breaking -- as we get older and lose family we never know what events might happen that will make the transition easier to understand.

Rick, I know this is not the time to talk about demographics, as you are dealing with you and your family's loss, but look at these locations and times that all these messages of love and support came to you!! Wonderful to see the community of folks you have brought together. Trust you all are doing as well as you can and are getting through this. Our thoughts, from around the world, are with you.
