A Brther Dies.

Tom Earp · #1 08-30-2002, 05:41 PM

One Of My Brothers from my Chapter Died working in a cemetary!

He was by himself while his crew left! He wanted to finish the job!

He was buried thigh deep by a mound of dirt crushing him against a stone wall! Got this info from one of my best freinds who is a police officer! He did not know He was a Brother of mine!

He Bled to death, knowing he was going to die as could not dig himself out!

I think of him often as we have a very close Chapter and I cry everytime I think of it!

What a waste of life of the young people that we so very much care for!

I am SO Sorry. I read this a while back and it is so fitting at at tiem like this. We read this at one of our brothers rememberance ceremonies a few years back.

"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."

My prayers are with you, our brothers and his family.
