Some may argue that 73 is not "old enough", but I watched three young siblings standing and crying at the graveside of their 47 year old eldest brother, one of my closest friends.

Some have even departed before they hit 40.

That said, even at a hundred years old, you never want a loved one to go.

Sad to see loved ones go, but the truth is, we don't live forever on this side of eternity.

May Pa Silva rest in peace.

May the Lord console the entire family, and be with Madame Joke. It's never easy, going through stuff like this.

As we see from outside. What goes on inside the house, we don’t know.

Sorry Ma,

Condolences to you and your family.

even though I'm not in good relationship with my own siblings, I still can't stand the pain of losing any of them.
It's well
