It is with great sadness that I come here to let any of the old timers know that Maria (of Maria and Beasties from the old board) lost her brother Christmas morning at 44 years old to a massive heart attack. I come here asking for prayers , vibes, rayz (whichever works for you) for the family. Joe leaves a loving wife, two young children, many close family members and numeous good friends. Joe was Maria's closest sibling. Maria has experienced much loss in the past few years and always clings even closer to her faith and her God.
Rest in Peace Joe.
Thanks for posting this Amy - I hurt so badly for her and her family....very sad.
I have asked God to add my prayers to the comfort that HE gives them, and to embrace them with His and our love.
Our thoughts and prayers are with her family in such a difficult time :comfort:
Oh, my! My prayers are already in progress, and rays are heading south. Poor Maria! Please let her know my sympathies are with her and her family in this time of sorrow.
We are sending HHHHHHHH's & PPPPPPPPPPPP's for Maria and her family. It is really hard to lose family during the holidays.
Merion & the ZZ's
Hugs and prayers.

Please tell Maria how sorry I am for her loss and that rays and prayers are going her way from Texas. Thank you, Amy, for letting us know.
How are you and Owen doing?
Amy, how kind of you to keep us informed of our friends. Maria is such a dear one and it hurts me so much that she's had to endure yet another blow. Please let her know that she is definitely in my thoughts and prayers.
We miss YOU, too. How's Owee-O doing/
We'll be keeping Maria in our thoughts and prayers
OH no...I just don't believe this! How so many horrendous things can happen to such a wonderful, nice, giving person is beyond me. He was so young...that is unreal. Poor Maria. Thanks for letting us know Amy. I will certainly be keeping her and her family in my prayers too.
How are you and Owee-Oh?? We miss you!
Good Lord, not another tragic loss way before their time. Thanks so much, Amy, for letting us know. Poor Maria has had more than her fair share of grief these past few years. I will be sure to send her a note.
(DD, I know you can especially relate to this loss)
