I thank you all for your responses. You certainly are a great group.
Followup to my post. My sister-in -laws told my husband his brother had died. He was quiet and asked how. They told him his heart gave out. He said that's too bad. They also made arrangements for my husband to go early to say goodbye. It worked out well
My dh put his hand on his brother's , the other on his heart and closed his eyes I knew at that moment he was saying goodbye to his dear brother. I know I made the right decision to bring him and I have no regrets.
