I just got this PM from our dear Crewleader! I am posting it with her permission...

> > > I want to let you know my brother Bobby passed away and received Military Funeral Honors. He was a Vietnam Veteran and my hero. He fought cancer for 10 whole years...only for it to move around and show it's ugly head at every turn. He died shortly after his second treatment of that heavy chemo...fighting right up to the end. I miss him terribly but I know he's in much better place and he suffers no more.

6. Aw, my dear shenmue...

It's hard, I know, but try not to be sad. She knew her brother was dying and she was able to spend a lot of time over the holidays with him...

12. We are just coming out from under the clouds of a brother

cut short by Liver Cancer. It hurts, and I know that Crewleader is suffering just as we suffered.

Each tear shed brings healing.

11. Dear Crewleader - I am so sorry to know that your beloved brother

has left.
Surely he knew of your love for him and that must have been a comfort to him as your time spent with him was to you.

Take the time you need, but when you're ready, I'll forward to a good (funny) story - in honor of Bobby.
