Rest in power Brother Dan

[Drunk Monk]

Sylvia was able to text during the flight. Below is one of her longer explanations so far.

I am allowed messaging with airplane mode.

I would very much appreciate help sending out messages to the California Family. I talked to Raz briefly, left message for Dina and think I need to reach out to Marc personally. I will do that when I get home.   By this evening should be ok.

We are still not sure what happened but he apparently never work up. Was being watched over by Mugsy and Marley and apparently they would not leave his side. I was in SJ for 2 days for my mothers 90 bd party.

He had been off for over 4 months and just had his first shift back on Thursday

My family is all coming up. We have a very close knit group of friends that have already been amazing

I will try to work up email in next few days.

Meanwhile my heart breaks, I feel I may never know true happiness again. I miss him so fucking much already.

I know your heart must be breaking to. You were always so close.

Marley and Mugsy are their dogs. Part of Jingles' pact actually.  I think the break Dan was on was due to his recent back surgery.  I'm not clear on that point.

Sylvia comes from a large supportive family, quite in contrast to Dan's. She says they are all converging in AK to help her through this.  I might go to although not right away (I have commitments in FL next weekend, as I mentioned before this heart wrenching turn of events).  We shall see.
