We are heartbroken today. Yesterday we lost our brother Patrick to cancer. He was the brother between Polly and I and the closest to me in age. Patrick is now pain free and in a better place. Till we see you again,
Love,Laurie and Polly

I'm so sorry. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
My deepest sympathy. The sibling relationship is so special and leaves such a heartache when one is no longer with you. I received a sympathy card with a Native American saying - they are not gone who live in hearts of those left behind - I'm sure your brother lives on with you.
Oh Laurie and Polly,
I'm so sad and sorry for your loss.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry--but also glad that Patrick doesn't have to suffer any more. I know about holding a dying brother's hand, and wishing for him to live forever--and to die soon.
Bless you all. Your memories must be so sweet--just look at those photos.
To you both, words never work when the heart is hurting. Know there are many who are thinking of you both and may time grant you the strength you need, and the good memories to sustain you.

I am so very sorry about the loss of your brother.
It is one of the hardest things to have to go through as a family. I too lost my sister at age 40 to cancer and even though it has been almost 10 years my heart still aches for her.
It does get easier and time does help.
God Bless you both and all of your family
