Two sudden deaths

[BarbTherese]

My first cousin passed away suddenly last week and then yesterday my brother's brother in law passed too.  Both men were very ill; nevertheless their deaths were sudden.

My cousin was a Vietnam vet and devoted his entire life to helping veterans on his return from Vietnam; however, sadly he turned to alchohol in a marked way, but it was probably more likely Vietnam related health problems that brought about his death.

My brother's brother in law was a truly lovely man.  Life's problems got the better of him and he took the wrong way and turned to alchohol and he could not defeat that 'demon' either.  He died of alchoholic related problems.  What his life experiences did open him up to was rich compassion and understanding of others and their problems.

Prayer for the repose of the soul of two very special men. 

Thank you.
