Please pray for the repose of the soul of my younger brother, Michael Alexo, who passed from this earthly life suddenly this morning. Only 29 years of age, he leaves behind his two young children, Anthony and Brianna.

My brother's sudden death comes a mere two months after our father's passing at the age of 56 and only 5 months after my wife and I buried her father. I am beginning to gain some sense of how Job must have felt...

Please also pray for my mother, that she may find the strength to deal with this tragedy so soon after burying her husband of 34 years.

May Michael's memory be eternal! Christ is Risen!

En te tou Christou agape,
Kenneth Alexo, Jr. (Theophilos)

Dear Kenneth,

First of all, I offer you my condolences and most sincere sympathy on the passing of your father, your father-in-law, and most recently, your beloved brother. Truly, the deaths of your father and brother are untimely.

I cannot find the words to express to you how sorry I am for all the pain which your brother's little ones, you and your mother are feeling. All I can humbly say to you is to 'trust in the Lord'...cling to Him, even in your doubts, even in your pain and grief, and cling to each other, bound together as a family in HIS love...

May God bless all of you, and sustain you through our All Holy Mother, the Theotokos.

May the Lord God have mercy upon your brother, Michael's soul, granting Him eternal peace and rest in His Kingdom.

Take care of yourself, and be assured of our prayers for you and your family at this very, very difficult time,
Alice

May his memory be eternal+
For the family...
Our Father, Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name.
Thy Kingdom come.
Thy Will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.
