Layne loses a brother

We received word this morning that Layne's older brother, Joel, went into surgery for an aneurism. The surgery was successful but was followed by a massive stroke that left him brain dead. He is on a respirator but will soon be removed from it and allowed to die on his own. Layne is headed for Montana tomorrow, along with his twin brother, Lynn, to help handle everything. Plans are for a graveside service on Saturday morning.

This photo shows Joel standing behind his brothers Lynn (left) and Layne. He is a kind, gentle soul. We will miss him.
