5. My BIL, massive heart attack, age 55

Sun Dec 25, 2016, 08:43 PM

Dec 2016

No warning at all, or maybe he was so stressed from his job that he didn't tell anyone he wasn't feeling well. DH's only sibling, 2 years younger. You're not supposed to bury your little brother.
He was a proud liberal who despised Trump with a passion and didn't live long enough to vote against him. Nov. 9 his wife was so upset she said she was glad Matt was gone so he couldn't see this.
I don't see how, but 2017 HAS to be better.
