Thank you.

Yes... we marveled at their spirit.

Our family went through similar things. I had a twin brother, Jerry who was born with cerebral palsey, who died at the age of 15 in 1971, and an older sister, Susie who died of Tay Sachs at the tender age of 15 in 1968.

Our parents would have never thought of abandoning them, and we as a family are richer for it in regards to our faith.

Ugh.

Suits Allege Post-Sept.11 Airline Discrimination

"Civil rights groups filed lawsuits against four major U.S. airlines on Tuesday, alleging discrimination against five men who were removed from flights after the Sept. 11 attacks because they looked Middle Eastern."

Indeed, you have endured much heartache in this life, NY, losing both your twin brother and older sister at such a young age. What a comfort our faith and church can bring to us during such times, especially when we are brought up in the ways of the Lord from childhood, as it sounds to me like you were. It also sounds as if your parents were wonderully supportive and remarkable. What an inspiring family you have, all the way around. Prayers lifted for you and your family in your loss of your Aunt Darlene and as you travel to Milwaukee for the services. God bless you.
