And\nif it will make you feel better, I appreciate\nyour thanks for any support I did or did not\ngive.

I don't know of any that do this for adults, but you might try the Make A Wish Foundation, which helps kids. http://www.wish.org/home/aboutus.htm  They might know where you could go. As an alternative, go to your local newspaper and ask them to do a story about your brother. Some generous pool company might donate a pool to him. Same for people who sell motorcycles.

I would talk with a pastor of the denomination involved. If there's not time for that write out a nice speech acknowledging the persons life, accomplishments, and strong personal points. Let the end of the speech call for the friends and family of the deceased to resolve (this is a resolution) to hold this dear ones memory close and to follow their example in good things just as they followed the example of Jesus. If you want to make it really nice and give people something to keep put the speech down on paper real nice and neat, maybe typed out or something like that, and then make lots of copies. If you can add a photo of the deceased (and remember to put things like the date and location of the church on it) I think people would like it. But check with the pastor before you do this. Hope this helps. :-)

I'm sorry to hear about your brother . . .\n\nFirst, you can search USA TODAY's archives online; they go back to 1987, but unfortunately contain only the text of the articles:\nhttp://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/USAToday/search.html\n\nFailing that, you can contact USA TODAY's Customer Service people online:\nhttp://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/USAToday/customer_service.html\n\nGood luck!

I would use:\n\n\nI am very sorry to hear about your tragic loss.\n\nUsing am if this is a recent loss, if it happened quite some time ago you can use the term "was".  I was sorry to hear about the loss of _________ last year (or whenever).

**********************************************I tried to respond to your email but Answers says your email address hasn't been confirmed yet. I truly do want to talk to you more and help you in any way that I can. So, please get your email address confirmed and email me again! Hugs and Blessings, Marty (Martha)*******************************************************************\n\nSometimes life throws so much stuff at you that you cannot see how you are going to get through it. At those times it takes all my strength and God's to get through the day. With Him on my side I can do anything. Those days I sometimes take it minute by minute and rejoice that I've made it through each minute. The "magic" way through the really tough stuff for me is relying on God and His amazing strength. I pray and pray and pray! He has gotten me through depression and suicidal thought. Through my husband's many illnesses, surgeries and hospitalizations. Through my brother's suicide and my Dad's death. Honestly, without my faith I would not be here today. You don't have to pray formal prayers, just pour out what is in your heart. God loves you so very much and wants to lighten your burdens. Trust in Him. He won't ever let you down. God bless you!

This probably sounds strange, but try searching on MySpace.  I found my estranged brothers through that site.

The Burial of Sir John Moore after Corunna \n  \nNot a drum was heard, not a funeral note, \nAs his corse to the rampart we hurried; \nNot a soldier discharged his farewell shot \nO'er the grave where our hero we buried. \n  \nWe buried him darkly at dead of night, \nThe sods with our bayonets turning, \nBy the struggling moonbeam's misty light \nAnd the lanthorn dimly burning. \n  \nNo useless coffin enclosed his breast, \nNot in sheet or in shroud we wound him; \nBut he lay like a warrior taking his rest \nWith his martial cloak around him. \n  \nFew and short were the prayers we said, \nAnd we spoke not a word of sorrow; \nBut we steadfastly gazed on the face that was dead, \nAnd we bitterly thought of the morrow. \n  \nWe thought, as we hollowed his narrow bed \nAnd smoothed down his lonely pillow, \nThat the foe and the stranger would tread o'er his head, \nAnd we far away on the billow! \n  \nLightly they'll talk of the spirit that's gone, \nAnd o'er his cold ashes upbraid him \nBut little he'll reck, if they let him sleep on \nIn the grave where a Briton has laid him. \n  \nBut half of our heavy task was done \nWhen the clock struck the hour for retiring; \nAnd we heard the distant and random gun \nThat the foe was sullenly firing. \n  \nSlowly and sadly we laid him down, \nFrom the field of his fame fresh and gory; \nWe carved not a line, and we raised not a stone, \nBut we left him alone with his glory. \nby CHARLES WOLFE (1791-1823)
