31. I am so very sorry. This is such a body blow. I would speak from the heart about who he was and how

he was loved. Tell stories about him, let people know him as a man and a brother. I wish you peace. My mother waited on day before she died so she wouldn't die on my sister's birthday which would have been a catastrophe for my sister. Only time will help you. Rememer, he loves you even more perfectly now and he will always be there. Hugs to you and your family, his daughter and all who loved and knew him.
