My brother, Geoffrey F. passed away this afternoon at 5 p.m. It was sudden and unexpected as although he had been ill for a long time, he had only gone into hospital for a period of five days for treatment to his legs. Yesterday we were told he was doing very well and would be home on Friday.
So it has come as a terrible shock. This now leaves me as the last remaining member of my original family and it is a horrible feeling.
Geoff and I had a stormy relationship on and off all my life but we had become closer in the last year and when all is said and done, he was my brother and it is true that blood is thicker than water.
His suffering is now over. God rest his soul and grant him eternal peace.
Goodbye, my brother.
My deepest sympathies. Blessings to you and your family at this time. you're in my thoughts and prayers...

ReplyDeleteSorry your holiday will be saddened by the passing of your brother. Yes, as each one departs, those remaining feel a little more alone. I felt the presence tonight of my sister who passed over 20 years ago, so once your brother has recovered, you may feel him with health recovered in another form. Always glad to hear from you, even though the occasion is sad.

ReplyDeleteWe are saddened and shocked by the sudden passing of Uncle Geoff. May he rest in peace free from suffering and pain. We will always remember the way he would find somthing funny until he was almost consumed with hysterical laughter, his feet stamping up and down with tears of mirth streaming down his face. Treasured memories. Love Becky, Dean, Nathan & Daniel x
