The morning of November 29, 2016 around 8:35am I was informed my Brother Julian had died unexpectedly. Sadly,  Julian had no life insurance and only lived on $727 every month.
According to OMI he had probably passed between 2:00 & 3:00am. He was 63 and lived alone after the death of our dear Mother in 2010. Julian was a kind, warm and giving soul that had so much love in his heart for God, and his family. He always tried to look at the glass half full, rather than half empty. No matter the years and years of mental illness and battling his own demons every day as we all do, Julian always turned to the Lord for comfort. He was a lonely, very lonely man regardless of the family we have left, and the ability to call and talk, Jay was just sad, very sad after our Mother's passing. She was his Rock! You see Julian and I have lost 6 brothers and sisters, now Julian is number 7. The only peace I can feel right now is knowing that Julian has joined our Mother, Father, Step Father, 6 Siblings, Nephews and Grandparents. He is no longer lonely and alone in an apartment with nothing to do but hope for a better tomorrow. Julian was a very giving man. He'd give you the last coat or shirt he owned if it meant your comfort over his. He was just that way............he always felt he wasn't nearly as important as you are. He had an unending, tremendous amount of faith in God's promise. I find comfort in knowing that Julian's soul has gone to the Lord God Almighty. Julian's spirit has ascended into the heavens to be with God who he so loved.  
As his youngest living Sibling, I am reaching out because I am in need of financial support to provide a proper cremation and placement for his remains, so that my Brother's remains and memory will leave us with dignity and the utmost respect. Unfortunately we don't come from a family with money so I am truly facing this expense alone as of this moment.
I ask that if you can spare any pocket change towards a dignified burial for my Brother, I would so very much appreciate anything, anything at all that you are willing and able to contribute.
Thank you for your unconditional love and understanding during this very difficult time. May God lead you in this. Respectfully, Kathleen
