I want to thank you all for your prayers. My brother passed away at 3:15 this morning, EDT.

Thank you, thank you for all of your responses. I wish I could reply to each of them. I've had 1/2 hour of sleep since 2:30 this morning...

If you could keep the next step in your prayers. He was adamant about no viewing or funeral (and his body is already gone ). But then a few weeks ago he told me if I wanted to do something for him (I told him I would like a mass said) that I was to be sure and include 2 songs - both by Elvis Presley. Good grief.   

His wife is cold to the idea of religion, but I know what I must do for my brother. Fortunately, my family is behind me on this....!

Bless you all.

I wanted to thank you all so much - your prayers have brought great graces to us!

My SIL is fine with a memorial service! Praise be to God!! I know it is the fruit of so many praying for her and the situation.

The mass will be Sept. 24. I will remember you all in a special way in my prayers at that mass.

My deepest thanks, once again.
