Gordon, peace be with you and yours.
I kind of know where you're at. We just had a memorial service for my mother yesterday.
Speak at his memorial. Take a box of tissues, a glass of water, and have written down what you want to say.
But do it.
That's what a memorial is, it's a celebration of a life that touched your own. There will be songs, there will be prayers, the pastor will tell your brother's story from what he has gleaned from those who knew him.
But the personal stories, the cherished memories of those who loved your brother is what makes a memorial.
I can tell you have some.
So cry, laugh, and honor his life.
I'm adding your family to my prayer chain, if that's alright with you.
