I feel really strange writing this I really don’t like to publicize my personal problems but this one goes way beyond just myself.
Recently about a month ago my dad passed away . My wife and I have been busy getting his things in order,
(he liked collecting cars , boats Etc). We also have to help my mother get her life in order .
On top of that This last Sunday morning I got word that my brother lost his life on Saturday (he left behind his wife and daughter she’s 20). I’m going to make an Urn and picture frame for them , Any ideas and advice are greatly appreciated .
I feel that LJs is my woodworking family and would like to ask for your Prayers for everyone involved in this time of need .
I’m going to forward all responses and prayers to my sister and daughter in-law so they know their not alone and to show them that we care.
Thank you for all your support

Our prayers are with you. This is a hard time for everyone and I know the pain all too well. I lost my wife, brother and father in a years time. I have done an Urn for each and a Memory Box for my Mother that matched my fathers Urn. This is something very personal and at the time thought I would never be able to be creative and do them justice. Let your heart take over and love will guide you for inspiration. This will have nothing to do with woodworking skills, but the love for your father and brother. God bless.
PS this is very personal, but if you would like to send a PM, I will be glad to see if I can help in any way.

Ron, you and your family have my condolences. It is hard enough to lose your father but the loss of your brother only compounds your grief. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
