sad news...

carrie's brother, tommy, passed away tuesday from a battle with brain cancer. according to sheri, he was at home with his wife and children. he was only forty-four.

carrie and sheri have become special people in my life through monte. if you'd like to wish them well, please do.

in my response to them, i likened cancer to a coward. it's really like a purse snatcher. you don't know it's there until it's too late, most times at least. and doesn't it always seem to 'snatch' the best people.

my nannie was one of those... about a year-and-a-half ago. it was leukemia. she'd never had it yet it's grips pulled her right out of our arms and into the hereafter.

i know first-hand that losing someone is tough. hell, we all do. very few deal with death easily. it sucks.

please join me in keeping them in your prayers.
