The Dions' heartbreak heartbreak continues.
One day after saying farewell to her husband René Angélil at his funeral, Céline Dion joined her family as they mourned the loss of her older brother Daniel Saturday at a visitation at a funeral home outside of Montreal in Repentigny, Canada.

Tribute was paid at Salon Charles Rajotte in Repentigny from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. local time.
In a previous statement to PEOPLE, the family remembered Daniel as "a gentle and reserved man of many talents."
Daniel was 59 when he died of cancer last week. His death came just two days after Angélil also succumbed to a battle with the disease.
"They're close; she's close with all of her siblings," a source told PEOPLE of Dion, 47, and Daniel. "It's hard."
On Monday, family and friends will say goodbye to Daniel at a funeral at the St-Simon-et-Jude parish in Charlemagne, Quebec, where the family was raised.
"The support we've received has been such a blessing," Dion told PEOPLE Thursday at her husband's public memorial at Montreal's Notre-Dame Basilica, where the widow remained all day to receive condolences from friends and fans who waited hours in the cold to pay their respects.   
                                    After undergoing fertility treatments, Dion gave birth to son René Charles, the couple's first child, on Jan. 25.                                                          After enduring multiple rounds of IVF, in May 2010, Dion and Angélil announced they were expecting twins. Nelson, named for South African President Nelson Mandela, and Eddy, named for Edd Marnay, a French songwriter who produced Dion's first five albums, arrived on Oct. 23.Ending her multi-year break from music, Dion released a new album, A New Day Has Come. Soon after, she announced her residency at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. The first leg of that residency lasted for five years, until 2007.
                                                      After Angélil was declared cancer-free in 2000, the couple celebrated with a vow renewal in Vegas. Of her Arabian Nights themed affair, Dion said: "It's almost like a show, and we're show business people."
