My dear friends at Brainking:

My sister's husband, Tom, passed away in his sleep for no apparent reason. He was not sick and had no known illnesses. They are performing an autopsy to try and determine why he died. He was only 43 years old as I am 17 years older than my sister, Mary Ann. I am leaving for New York, where he will be taken from their home in Pennsylvania to be buried in the Brooklyn area, near his only brother, Michael, who died in the basement of one of the Twin Towers on 9-11-01, . He was one of the firemen that perished in that horrible tragedy. I feel so bad for the boys' parents as now they will bury their remaining son Friday, November 5th. I will return Nov. 8th. Please say a prayer for my sister and her beloved Tom and his family.
