my coworker's brother

I want to thank all of you my dear friends for your kind thoughts, prayers and hugs for my co-worker Chris who lost her second brother to a heart attack (please see my last entry). Her mom Jean is a kind woman who went into her own pain to help me when Eddie passed since her 32 year old son Jimmy had passed several years ago. Now a second son, Bill, who was only 49. This poor mom was away in Aruba & got the call about Bill. When jimmy passed he was away in Panama on business. Jean now has her 3 remaining children; her daughter Chris and 2 other adult sons, Mike and Bob. She does not have grandchildren from either Jim or Bill, but has several grandchildren from her other kids. I talked to Chris briefly this morning. She said her heart is broken. Of course. We all understand all too well what this family will go through in the days and weeks ahead. I will be there as much as I can for them. I will pay it forward.
