My heart aches for you Sister Braunwyn & your Loving Family.

I'm Praying for you high here on the mountain.

Take gentle care of yourself. God Bless You...


I know the ache & pain. Too many of my loved ones have passed on.

I'm on my way back to Boston. Maybe I'll share the experience later. I should really write it down before I begin to forget.
Oh no, I am so incredibly sorry. Yes, maybe you should write it down.

I am so sorry for your loss.

How, I have no idea. He also has an osteotomy due to crohn's disease. His body has taken such a beating over the years.

I'm flying out tomorrow. I couldn't get my cr*p together in time for a flight tonight. I've never vomited over stress before. It was pretty weird. I can't move.

Any way, is it possible to be on a ventilator and be conscious?
His girl friend is telling me that he tears out of one eye when she speaks to him. My brother has a DNR, but is on life support just the same. What do I do?

My best friend was killed last year on a motorcycle. Those bikes are very dangerous, or rather, the cars really that hit them which is the REAL problem. Sorry to hear about the loss Braunwyn.

I'm very sorry for the loss of your twin, Braunwyn. I recognize the very unique and strong bond that exists between multiples and how your loss must hurt more than most of us can ever imagine. I am glad that you were with him when he left this life for his new one. Peace be with you.

I am so sorry for your loss. I don't have any siblings so I can't even begin to imagine how you must be feeling but my thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

Thanks again for all the kind words. You folk are awesome. Unfortunately, I come home tonight to a flooded basement. When it rains it poors. So, now we don't have water. This whole problem, as I understand it, is the city's fault. Hopefully, they'll pay for the damages.
