My brothers case is closed

I spoke with the coroner today & they have decided not to wait for dental records. They feel they have enough evidence to prove this was my brother. The coroner was such a nice helpful woman. She was on the scene and answered all my questions. She said the found a photo on him that had a girl, a baby and a little white dog. That has to be my daughter, Kylee and our Lexie. She also said he was in such a remote area that she was surprised that he was found. Thank goodness for those hunters!

I made the arrangements for him to be picked up from the medical examiners office and taken to be creamated. I will go to Astoria next week to pick up his belongings. The Dr said it should be of comfort to me as what he had seemed to be special to him. I am glad to have closure. Now we can move forward and start the healing process. There will always be a hole in our hearts that only he can fill. But I know that time will help.

Thanks for everything! I appreciate you all!

Dear Lori,

I know you were hoping desperately for a different outcome. So sorry to hear the news. You must have been a wonderful sister. The way you described the hole in the heart that never quite heals is exactly how I feel about the loss of my Dad. It has been 20 years and that hole has never filled back up completely.

Thinking of you and your family with deepest sympathy.

Love,

Polly

So sorry Lori.

Life does not always deal us they hand that we would like. If it is any comfort, you have your memories of your brother & that can never be taken away from you.

Love

Liz
