Sorry…no morning post today. We got word this morning that my husband’s brother is dying in the hospital and we had to just leave everything and go see him. I wasn’t able to go in, but he did get to say goodbye. Keep Tommy and his family in your prayers, please. I don’t even know where to begin telling you what is wrong with him. Lots of things.

Blessings and prayers for you and your family, dearest luvie.

Oh Sis-I am so sorry!
Prayers of peace for both you, and your sweet hubby!
May God hold you close!

[radu]

OMG!!! I’m so sorry to hear this, luvie. Prayers up for your hubby, you, and the rest of the family.

[luvie]

Thank you!

[luvie]

Thank you, Sis. (((Hugs))) We’re just waiting to hear that the end has come. He’s miserable and barely hanging on.

[luvie]

Thank you. We appreciate that. I don’t think it’ll be much longer. He’s in very critical condition.

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Oh Sis!
That is SO hard!
I haven’t been around on line lately...

We lost Mr B’s Mom, she was a sweetheart
and we will miss her greatly.

I also lost my dear friend Sue, whose family
own(s) The Cottage that you guys stayed in
while you were here in Maine.
She got us a remarkable discount on the
price of the rental.

I am just devastated about her passing.
She was just one of the sweetest people
I have ever known (next to Ma!)

And you Sis, and our BBs and The Canteen!

I have had a few health scares over the summer,
but I hope to be back to my old self soon!
I miss playing music, and want to get back to
doing that, too!

I have gone on far too long in this post-
but I wanted to catch up with you on things.

Please know that you and your hubby are in
my thoughts and prayers!
Love you, Sis!

It is hard. We have never been super close to him or his family, but it hits hard nonetheless.

I’m so very sorry to hear that Mr. B’s mom passed away. And also that Sue did! She was a good friend and a good person, and I know she is missed.

I hope you are improving. I hate to hear that you’ve been having health issues. Take care of you! You are an important part of the Canteen.
