My brother has passed over and seen the elephant
« on: January 05, 2017, 02:12:07 PM »
      :'(It's been a while gang, sorry had to come back with bad news.
My big brother, Troublesome River aka Larry La Masters, passed away on Sat. Dec. 31st due to complications from his dialysis(his blood pressure dropped and after maxing him out on 3 Blood Pressure meds, they just couldn't do anything. Apparently he passed away peacefully. Right now, he's at a funeral home around Chicago.
     Since mid-May, he has had to have a foot amputated below the knee, went on Dialysis, had to have a trach and feeding tube installed, had four infections, one from a bed-sore and one so new they don't even have a cure for it yet(ElizebethKingia). Guess it was just to much. We live in East-Central Illinois, 30 miles south of Champaign-Urbana, and Chicago was the best place to try and get him back home. Looks like he's coming back home next week finally :'(.
     I have learned that Larry and Me have more friends than we thought. Even had on set up a GoFundMe account to take care of expenses.
     T.R. was my Big Brother, my Friend and my Compadre. Vaya Con Dios Big Brother. Until We Meet Again. :)

You have my deepest sympathies and condolences, the loss of a brother is like nothing else. May good find you in this tying times.
I know what you're thinking: "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?

That is truly a hard pill.  Sincerest condolences.  Hopefully, with support from your family and friends, you will have less heartache.
