Please pray for my family

My youngest brother (28 years old) was found dead in his own apartment in New York this evening. We all live in Wisconsin and don't have any details until my other brother gets there tomorrow morning. My family is devasated. My parents are just walking shells of who they once were. He was the baby of our family....fit, healthy, athletic, successful and happy. Makes no sense. I still can't even believe it. My heart is broken for all of us--we had a great relationship--daily chats on the computer-jokes and an interesting writer/editor relationship with some short stories he was writing.

Painful, broken, and just devastated. Fine one minute, shocked disbelief, and crying the next. All we know is the police said no evidence of foul play/forced entry or suicide.

Makes no sense.

Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. I pray your family will find the answers that you seek and comfort in knowing that you are surrounded by friends here at LBT.

I am so sorry. I wish there was something I could say to make you feel better. Just know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family

Kimber-lilly,

I am so sorry to hear about your brother...my prayers are being sent for you and your family.

I don't know where in Wisconsin you live, but I live in Wisconsin also....if we are fairly close, if there is anything I can do for you or your family, I would be happy to.

I live in a surburb outside of Milwaukee....Sussex, WI....where are you?

Oh I am so sorry !!! will say a special prayer tonight for you/your family. I know there is nothing I can say right now to relieve your pain. I'm just so sorry you are going through this. Thinking of you....

I know how hard a close family member loss can be. All I can say is hand your sorrows over to God and let the happy memories carry you through. I am available for anything I can possible do for you. PM me or email me. ~Mandy

OMG I am sooo sorry. Please know that I will pray for strength and guidence for your family.

A thousand thank you's for all your support. I just got home after spending the day with my parents--took them to the funeral home to make arrangements--a scenario I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. It really warms my heart to know that you all care. We are in northern Wisconsin--on the border by Iron Mountain Michigan--and I appreciate all your offers to help. Nothing to do, really. I will try to hand it over to God, like you said.

Your thoughts and kind words are my buoy.

Kimberly
