Jennb, your family is blessed to have you as their rock of strength right now. In time, you too will need some down time to just dwell on the joy your brother brought into your lives. Cherish those memories and then begin those memory quilts, of which you spoke and they will bring you double joy as you make them and remember the wonderful life he led and the happiness he had spending time doing those things that brought him so much pleasure.
My prayers include you and your family and all those who were lucky enough to know your brother and are feeling his loss.
Donna
