I extend my sympathies to you and your chapter on their loss. Sometimes
one of the most difficult things to figure out is how to honor the
brother in a formal way. The Memorial Ceremony that was passed at the
last National Convention may be a good way to start, even if you just
look at it as a source of ideas. The Memorial Ceremony is now included as
part of the new Ritual Books and is appropriate for either chapter only
memorials or those done with the larger school/family community.
Our lives are made valuable only by those lives which we touch.
Yours in Sympathy
