I won’t be blogging for the next week or so. We have suffered what can only be termed as a tragic loss. The oldest of my 3 brothers, Scott, just got married on Valentine’s Day. Yesterday, his new wife, Debra passed away. As you can imagine, we are all in a state of disbelief. I know I am leaving a few things hanging here – the Pay it Forward and Comment Love giveaways, but I will take care of them when I get back home. Prayers for my family, and most especially for my brother would be greatly appreciated. And for me as well – this seems small in the face of everything, but I have never flown before and I will have to, so that I can be there with my family.
Thanks in advance for your words of condolence – I know that the wonderful group of friends who visit me here will be offering comfort, and I am grateful for that. Do me a favor and go hug somebody you love and tell them how much they mean to you, ok? See you in a week or so.
Travel safe .. I am in shock. I send my deepest sympathy to you, Scott .. to his and Debra’s families …
…Oh Donalyn I am so, so sorry to hear of this. Please know that you, your brother and your family are in our thoughts and prayers…
…God bless you and carry you thru this darkest of times…
…Blessings…
My deepest sympathies to Scott, Debra’s family, and to you. My prayers are with you all.
