Lost my little brother yesterday
« on: August 14, 2011, 08:56:35 am »
My little brother Stevie passed away yesterday due to complications after an operation.

The first jukebox I attempted to build was for him:

Stevies Jukebox

Rest in peace Stevie, we love you and will miss you until we see you again.

So very sorry for your loss. I lost my youngest brother some years back.

You, and your family, are in the thoughts of the Cheffo family.

My condolences.
If you're replying to a troll you are part of the problem.
I also need to follow this advice. Ignore or report, don't reply.

I couldnt imagine losing my sister, and how difficult this must be for you. My sincerest condolences.

Really sad to hear that. I couldn't imagine losing my younger brother, and just reading this makes me want to call him up and let him know I miss having him around (he lives in the province over).
I'm sure your little brother passed knowing he has an older that loves and cares about him.

My condolences to you and yours, and god bless.

We laid Stevie to rest yesterday. Needless to say we are all hurting, but I know it will get better each day.
I take comfort in knowing that he is in a better place now. His chains of disability, pain, and suffering have been loosed.

Thanks to all of you for the kind thoughts and prayers.
Even though I dont know you personally, I do know that miles or even worlds cannot separate true friendships, and Momma always said you always see your real friends when you are at the low spots in your life.
May God bless and be with you all, always.
