Sorry, some bad news.
My Niece found him this evening. 
My Mother in Law is staying with us tonight. |

|
| Oh golly gosh how sad. Was he very old? My condolences to you and all your family. |
| Sorry to hear of your bereavement Elissa.
Hugs to you all at this sad time |
| Thanks, he was 40 yrs old. It looks like he may have died from a seizure, but we are waiting for the coroner to get back to us.
But he did say it appeared to be from a seizure.
My Brother in Law suffered from seizures caused by a severe tramatic brain injury when he was hit by a car about 5 years ago. He was never the same after the accident. His seizures were being managed with medication and the last seizure that we knew about was Thanksgiving 2007 when he forgot a pill. |
| I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your bil. You and your family are in my prayers.
Tears, |
| I'm so sorry for your loss |
| I'm so sorry,
Big hugs to your entire family.  |
| I am so sorry. Those seizures - bad news.
One of the high school girls in the special ed class passed away in the night 2 weeks ago from a seizure. Her parents found her in the morning. She was only 16 years old. Condolences to your family. Especially to your neice - too bad she had to be the one to find him.  |

Just because some people believe these things happen in threes,here is the 3rd. A lady in our village recently sold her house to move to New Zealand to live near or with her married daughter and 6 year old granddaughter as she felt seeing the child twice a year wasnt enough,and just before her going away party,her son in law telephoned to say the little girl died overnight in her bed,possibly from choking during a seizure.She had no medical history of any health issues. |
| I am so sorry for your loss. Please know your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.
|
| I'm very sorry. |

| Very sorry for your loss. I remember you talking about your brother-in-law before here on the forum. Too young... |
| How sad. I'm sorry. |

| Thats's so very sad! My condolences to you and your family. . . |
Elissa, I am so sorry to hear about your BIL.  to you and your family! |
| Thanks everyone.
Been a rough week.
The Coroner felt that my BIL died as a direct result of the injuries he suffered in the car accident 5 years ago. They wanted to do a more extensive study of the brain so they could find why he died. My MIL gave them the go ahead. The results will be back in 6 - 8 weeks. My MIL and I have been planning the final arrangements and she stayed here until today. This morning I went with her to say goodbye to him before the cremation. That was really tough on me. In this past week I realized I was his best friend. I had blown him off big time lately and feel terrible about it. Luckily, last Thursday I did answer a phone call and it was a very meaningful conversation. It will stick with me for a long time. From the day I met him I was his "Little Sister". My Mother in Law said I was the sister he always wanted, he and his sister didn't get along well. When we were going through his stuff I found tons and tons of e-mails that were printed out. They were alll from me and all jokes. He used to call me just to hear a new joke. Luckily for me with his memory problems I could tell the same joke over and over and he would always laugh. Then he would always tell the same joke. When I was out of jokes he'd say stop me if you've heard this before.... A duck walks into a bar.... I would scream STOP!! every time and we would always laugh. My SIL has been her usual self and had even come up with an excuse to not go to Memorial Service and of course we had to plan it around her schedule. 
It sucks that this is being drawn out.... the memorial service isn't until next Thursday. |
| E,
So sorry to hear about your loss. What a wonderful relationships you and your BIL had! How are Ryan and Hayley coping? Do they understand why everyone in the house is so sad?
Hugs Martini |
| Oh, I am so sorry.... |
| Thanks guys.

Hugs Martini Thanks, The kids have been talking about Uncle Jimmy non stop. I think Ryan is really having a hard time. Not having a good time trying to express his feelings. Jimmy has been his Uncle for as long as he can remember. Jimmy used to stay over sometimes (before the accident) and in the mornings before he would leave, he would watch TV with Ryan for hours. Jimmy loved Ryan as if he were he's "real" nephew. My Brother in Law claimed he knew I was having a girl.... even though I had miscarried twice before getting pregnant with Hayley, he kept saying You are having a girl...each time. But he ended up being right.  He went around the neighborhood doing odd jobs so he could buy Hayley a Birthday present. He knew how much she liked Princesses and he bought her a set of Disney Princess pajamas. He has always adored her and she adored him. But I am not sure she really understands it. She knows Uncle Jimmy is now taking care of Harley in heaven and that Great Grandma (My Grandma) was also there.
My great nephew does not understand as he had never had to deal with death before. He's a few months younger than Hayley. He called my MIL (his Great Grandma) and asked to speak to Jimmy I gave my Niece ideas on what to say. My MIL used to babysit my Great Nephew a lot and Jimmy was his playmate. So they were real close.
Jimmy used to say that the kids loved his so much because he had the same mentality as them. He meant since the accident. I have been taking this really hard. I had a lot to do before this service tomorrow.... luckily it's all done.... Hopefully I will remember to bring everything with me. My kids are going to my sister's house after the memorial service until Sunday. My parents are coming and taking them home after. We invited my Mother in Law to come home with us after the service. She told me today that she is having a real hard time in her house. So I told Billy this evening that he should call her and ask if she wanted to spend the night tomorrow since he knew it would be a really rough day for her. I wanted him to ask her. She said she would think about it and may take us up on the offer. Now I need to find a home for his 3 cats. I have had no luck with any rescues calling me back and a whole bunch of scam artists from petfinder offering me absurd amounts of money for my "pet".  |
| sweetheart...I'm so sorry................. |
| E
I am on business trip at Colorado Springs now, so I have to keep this short. Please contact this lady - Michele, her email is michelescats@yahoo.com She is the lady I help fostering kittens for. She can help. Tell her I sent you. Talk more later Hugs to you and your family Martini |
| Thanks Martini. I actually found her name last night in craigslist.
She told me to contact Tina as everyone she knew had no room. |
| I am so sorry....his story sounds so sad |
| |
| Surprisingly, my SIL decided to come to the service.
She really wasn't dressed for it, but we were lucky to get her there at all. Jimmy wasn't exactly nice to her for the last 5 yrs since the accident and the relationship was mutual. He also had issues with her son, my nephew. But my Nephew got up there and spoke of the Uncle he knew before the accident, the man that helped shape his life. My SIL said to me this evening that Jimmy couldn't stand her, but I had information proving otherwise from my phone conversation on 10/30 with him. I hope the info I provided her brings her some peace, because he did love her, very much... even though he thought she was a pain in the ass.
It was a beautiful service, and there were a lot of great stories and wonderful things said about him. |
| I'm very sorry for all the sadness,trials and troubles you have had and hope life goes more smoothly for you all now |
