HWAY,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss.
I lost my brother a few years ago and it was suddenly too. At the time I could not see the hand of God in the 'suddenly' we found ourselves experiencing. I posted this prayer for you. I will be praying for all of you. Praying for everyone's joy to be full and for eveyone's emotional healing to take place.
