Hello My Friends


The funeral is over. I didn’t fall apart but it was very hard. I have not had to be alone, which has saved my sanity. I am going to leave tomorrow with my daughter and her family.

It was a very nice service, not too many people but not too little. We went to the cemetery and it was very cold and windy with huge snow flakes. We then went back to the church and there was a dinner provided for us.

Here are a few photos of Al’s flowers.

Today is very hard for me. It seems to get harder the longer the day goes on. I keep wanting to go check on him, or turn him on his side, or change the TV, but I can not.

His funeral is this coming Thursday. Visitation is between the hours of 9-12am. The funeral begins immediately from noon.

Al suffered from MSA – Multiple System Atrophy which is a “neurological disorder that affects adult men and women. It is caused by degeneration or atrophy of nerve cells in several (or multiple) areas of the brain which can result in problems with movement, balance and automatic functions of the body such as bladder and blood pressure control.

You can find more details on Multiple System Atrophy here and here.

Farewell

As my brother I have loved you
For all of your fifty-eight years
We have argued and fought
Brought each other to tears

I would never change…

Here is the information of where he will be in case any of you are wondering.
