My BIL Ronnie, was found dead in the yard by his neighbors today. Physically, he had not been well for a long time. However, since Nam he hast battled PTS. My FIL had been very abusive towards my husband, and Ronnie, as children. They were the oldest of six, and received most of it. One time he had beat them both with razor strap. Ronnie to the point that he had passed out, my husband had to carry him upstairs. There was only 13 months between them. My point in telling you this, I don't know his relationship with the Lord, he never had a drug or alcohol problem, but really could never communicate. His was a troubled life, though he and my SIL divorced, she never really abandoned him. They had three children, two sons from an earlier marriage, and a beautiful daughter together. Sadly, Ron always said he would, but they have been searching all afternoon, and cannot find anything, so everything is falling crazy on Sarah. ( I can't back up, but they always washed Ron's clothes, and they dont remember him picking them up. Hoping by remembering they may come up with some time of his passing). Anyway, my neice has her hands full. Her brothers are helping, but legally the estate stuff will fall on her, because nothing was done. They live in Pittsburgh. I have not physically been able to go back to visit since Fr Deacon Stan was ordained. They were here for my husbands burial. I sure hope the doctors think I can go, I've been battling my physical self again since Wed. of Holy Week. Crazy story huh. I love them all so much, I just wish I could be there with my SIL now.

You know, you realize family & home, if a forum can be so, when the first thing you think when you're back online, is you gotta go to Byzcath.

Dear Alex and OLS, I love you guys so much!

They found out he had a major heart attack while outside, and fell on the concrete of the patio, hitting his head. Doctors said he went very quick.
I'm glad they know now, instead of always living in fear that he struggled.

They live in Pittsburgh PA, and my kids don't feel I can make the trip from Alabama. Because of both restaurants, my DIL, nephew, and younger son are not going. My oldest son and BIL that lives here are headed that way. Distance is such a killer for families! frown
