My nephew is getting remarried this coming weekend, April 18, his father, my brother, passed away April 4, 1997, at the age of 51. 29 years!!!
I was looking for pictures of my brother, Andy and thought I would share a couple. They want to put his picture up at their wedding. Her parents are both gone, and they want to celebrate all three of them - so sweet.

My dad, me, Rick, my mom, and my brother.
All my nuclear family is gone now.
Andy and myself.
Half-Brother, Andy, Me, Dad, Half-sister.
My brother and father are gone - and yikes, I will probably be next.
My brother was just the sweetest man you ever knew. He loved his family dearly. His daughter was in the Navy, and he came over almost every day with new pictures of her with her children. He would give anyone the shirt off his back. He was a lot more of a relaxed personally than I ever was. He didn't really get too nervous or excited about things.
I think this was one of the saddest days of my entire life when he died.
I actually wailed.
Can't say I understand it, but I trust it was for the best.
I know he would be so excited about Joey getting married and Jessica is wonderful.
Andy had two children - three grandchildren - six great-grandchildren.
My grandson was named in memory of him.
