Brent,
Lots of prayers and love go out to my wonderful brother. I watched you over the past few months leap forward through each medical hurdle with amazing strength and optimism. I also saw how you suffered in silence and still managed to smile, joke, and be engaged in the moment. You even played some marathon games of Cribbage with me when you were feeling uncomfortable. You never gave up the fight...
Over the years our conversations were, shall we say, full of controversy and introspection. I will always be grateful for your many years of guidance and advice throughout my life. You made your self available to me and my family to which I am truly blessed. I am very glad that you brought Jeanne into our family. She was the piece that completed you. You were always there for each other and had such an amazing bond. She was such a trooper through all the moves and new houses to finish. I can't think of anyone else that would have spoiled you the way she did. You know the rest of us suffered for that! Over the course of your illness, she was the perfect advocate and caregiver. pushing you forward and keeping such great track of appointments, medications, etc, etc etc. Always being by your side the whole way... night and day.
I will miss you very much. God Bless you.
Love always, Susie
