After being gone almost a week from this place myself, due to a death in the family. I wanted to let you know that even though I don't know you well yet, my thoughts and prayers will be with you as well. I love your idea about the rock and roll hall of fame. It is a tribute to what you loved best about your brother and it will be a fine memory to hold throughout the rest of your life. Again I am so sorry for your loss and I send you thoughts of peace and strength. ((((hugs))))

Lixy - I've been under the weather here of late, & not able to check in for a while...so sorry to hear about your bro, but it sounds like you have sorted out all your feelings well, & you are well on your way to achieving some closure...I lost my own bro some years ago, at least he & I were finally becoming friends after years of sibling rivalry...and I have also experienced my wife's difficulties with her own "black sheep" brother...so here's a hug for strength & support...Green Day is a great choice for the situation...& I promise I won't pinch your ass while you're trying to sing...well, maybe I'll just cop a feel

Lixy---Sorry to get back to you so late.I just saw this thread.Don't
blame yourself for not knowing.My wife & I,found,last year,that a friend had been dead for 2/3yrs.I knew him from a motorcycle bar,
and a job,but we only knew him by his nickname.One day in the
newspaper,we saw an article,that a local motorcycle club,was
having a "Poker"run,with the proceeds being donated to Thomas
Manettes son,for his college fund.It then went on to say that
Thomas Manette(who was known as Boomer)was a long time member of the motorcycling community.My wife&I,had only known him as Boomer,and didn't know that he had died.I had stopped drinking and didn't go in the motorcycle barThere is a cross,on the
esplanade,of the road where he died! Irish

Hey Lixy, please accept my heartfelt condolences, it must have been extremely hard for you to decide how to cope with the loss and the bad memories.
I have no siblings, but I feel sure that if I had, no matter the rift, the love would still be there. Just like yours.
I think if you had decided not to do the eulogy, you would regret it years later, and I think the idea of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is a wonderful idea.
And before you sing, like Lilith said, take a deep breath and think of the love and support of all your Pixie friends.
I will be thinking of you, I know you will do your brother proud, sending you big big hugs Lixy, and I will be sending them in my thoughts on April 26th.
((((((((((((Lixy)))))))))))

Hi Lixy, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your brother - I can't imagine how it must be to lose a sibling, especially in the circumstances you have described.
I know that on the 26th, all the right words will come to you, and just remember, at that very special time, there is so much love showering down on you from your pixie family all around the globe, you will find the strength and support to get you through this.
I think your tribute to your brother is a wonderful idea - and be sure to know, he will be smiling down thinking exactly the same thing. My thoughts and prayers will be with you Lixy, and big hugs hun.

TY, TY, TY.......
For being the bestest family aside from my immediate one......to touch my heart and show that you care!
Just felt like adding a pic of my big brother (he was the oldest) to let everyone know just who it is that I struggle and fret over. This is one of my fave pics of him. He was 28 y/o when it was taken. He was 42 y/o when he died. I think he was kind of a cutie, even if he was my brother. All my girlfriends wanted me to fix them up with him. I said........ewwwwwww! No way! You want to go out with him, you ask him out. LOL! We were young!
I love you and miss you Tommy......say hi to mom and dad for me!
Thanks for listening and caring and sharing everyone!
*hugs*
