It's hard to believe he's really gone even though he was sick. He was the oldest and more like a father since he had kids older than me. When I was a teen, I told him I wanted to play the piano. I came home from school one day and there it was. The most beautiful used black baby grand taking up half the living room. I never learned to play it well and I'm not sure who loved that piano more - him or me. Then he bought himself a fiddle which he finally traded for an acoustic guitar when the family threatened mutiny. He was quite a character.

I will miss him.

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers for me and my family.

Now that is a cool big brother.

Josie, I am so sorry for your loss. I do have to agree, he seems like the kind of guy you would love to be around!

Try to focus on the great times, and celebrate the time you had with him. He lives on in you that way.

Josie, I'm so sorry about your loss. I am glad you both shared the love of music, and I'm sure the memories are precious.

Josie,

I wish I had something to say that helps, but that doesn't seem to be one of the powers bestowed on words. Based on what you said, it sounds like he was a brother who put his money where his heart is. Given the price of baby grand pianos, he must have really loved his little sister. His actions said far more than words.

Josie, I am so sorry for your loss and you and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Josie !


Please accept my belated
condolences regarding
the loss of your brother !

In my case, music and
my musical friends helped
me to get over the death
of my wife,but in reality
I think that time is the
greatest helper when it
comes to getting over grief
and sorrow !

I´ll pray for you and all
of your family to get over
this huge loss as fast as
possible and I will send you
a pm with some music to go along !

Cheers

It's kind-a hard to "lose" a loved one. Especially hard, because most everybody avoids speaking about the person -- at least the first time.

After my first wive's passing, I took the chance to see the positive sides of being that close to her. I cherished the time we had together. I only regretted that the present time is now without her. It takes a lot of strength, but it is worthwhile.

I wish you to have the strength to maintain your happiness when you think about your brother.

Guido

My thoughts are with you, it is always hard to bear the loss of a loved family member, young or old, well or in sickness. As others said, mourn you loss but be glad of the good times you had together.

Thank each of you. Your kind thoughts and prayers have helped.


Josie

Our condolences, Josie.

I'm sorry for you. Sincere condolance.
