Sorry about your loss bro. Its one of the hardest things I ever had to deal with in college. I lost two undergrad brothers while active. I still carry both of them with me today, and the chapter has since worked their memory into traditions. It was only through the support of my brothers that I ws able to get through it.
Just know, that Mike, like Brian and Chris (the brothers who died from my chapter) are always with us, and they'll always be liek we remember them, young, energetic and happy.
I have posted this here before. I think its from the rememberance ceremony/memorial service, which might be of some comfort for your chapter to perform privately, later.
"A time of grief is a time of faith, a time of hope and a time of love. Faith in God above us who sutstains us in these trying times. Hope for the future, because of our beliefs we know that we will be reunited with all our brothers who have passed before us; and finally Love for our brothers that we feel as we come together to celebrate the life that we were privlaged to know in our brother."
Yours In ZAX,
-Andy
