Prince: Another Brother Gone Too Soon
We may have never sat down to dinner with them and we weren't able to sign the guest books at their funeral, but these men have been just as much a part of our lives as a member of the family.
And just as we would mourn the passing of our fathers and uncles, we also feel the effects of these brothers, outside of our households, who have passed away. We don't know all the facts surrounding every single death, but we do know that they left us way too soon. As we care for our own, let these deaths be a reminder to take not only our own physical, mental and spiritual health seriously, but the ones closest to us as well, in hopes that this may add many, many more productive years to their lives.
