My Brother Gene Passed Away Yesterday 08/05/22
He has been fighting for two years but passed quietly in his sleep yesterday at 1000 am in hospice. He had esophageal cancer and it was aggressive. He was 66. He and I were roommates in this house for over twenty years. So my house is completely silent now, and it remains to be seen whether I can afford to stay in it. Meanwhile, I will just have to get by however. I have neighbors and family to help.
Meanwhile, other than that, I am still fighting pneumonia and gall bladder issues, so I will just have to keep on keeping on as best I can.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Keep on keeping on is about all anyone can do. Nothing like having another hump to get over while trying to recover from pneumonia and gall bladder issues. I raised my little brother and was his legal guardian until he turned of legal adult age. He now lives in Hutto Texas. A little bit of a drive from Seguin, but we stay in touch weekly. I would miss him tremendously if he was gone. I wish there was more I could say or do to help you feel better. Take Care Kloker and God Bless you brother.
Hi kloker - I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your dear brother. I know how close you both were and what a loss this is for you! Please accept my condolences at this time, kloker.
Warm regards,
Leon (site moderator COPD.net)Thanks, Leon. We were likely the two closest brothers. I hear you, kloker - death and losing a very close family member is never easy. Although it is not the same, when I lost my Dad (1982) and my Mom (1996), my grief was almost unbearable. To this day there is a gray part of my heart that remains. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss each of them.
My life, of course, goes on but the sadness is always present.
If we can help you in any way, kloker, please just let us know.
Warmly,
