Andrew's brother

We received word about 8:30 last night that Andrew's brother had stopped breathing and his heart had stopped.  The ambulance had been called and CPR was being performed as they rushed him to the hospital.  An hour later the call came that there was nothing that could be done.  At just age 47, Andrew's brother had passed away.  He had been ill for years and had suffered his first stroke the day after my father passed away.  He had lost his eyesight and all of his mobility.  There is peace in knowing he is no longer suffering, but no one should ever have to bury their child.  Andrew is the only sibling and he has gone to be with his parents.  The kids and I will head over after school tomorrow.  Right now I am holding down both the home front and the school front as I've been in for Andrew today (and again tomorrow) so the kids don't lose an entire week of instruction.  My heart is broken for my in-laws who have lost their son, and I pray for peace and comfort for them.
