My younger Brother passed this week [View all]

He had a stroke just before Thanksgiving, spent 2 weeks in the ICU and then went to Hospice care. He was 63 and nobody was prepared. Least of all, him. We now have to sort through his complicated business affairs, probate, everything.

And we miss him terribly.

As an aside: The cremation people are swamped with business thanks to Trump. Getting death certificates is slow as well.
