In remembrance of Brian Nasi

Part of the letter from Norene Nasi Gilbertson:

"My brother Brian Nasi died from a sudden heart attack. Brian had no intention of leaving us at 54 years of age. He always said, Someday I will quit smoking. Someday I will eat chicken and fish instead of red meat. Someday I will begin a regular exercise routine. Someday I will take better care of myself.
Someday never came for Brian but it can come for you. He always used to say that he 'didn't want to live longer than all my friends' but I know he didn't plan on being the first to go."

Mother's Day weekend is the annual Brian Nasi Memorial Heart Walk/Run in Hurley, Wis. The mission of this event is to encourage people of all ages to get and be active - no matter what your current habits are.

This is a new blog dedicated to educating, communicating and generally here for the Nasi family and those close to them. Please add your history, meds, diet or anything you want to pass to the Nasi family and future generations.

This all started with our Grandfather, who moved from Finland for a new life in America and ended up dying of a massive heart attack at the young age of 40. He left a family behind with Ero, the oldest boy in his teens, left to build a home for his mother and family.
George, the youngest, was 3 years old. There has been much heart disease in the family, affecting not only the men, but Ella as well.
