When God called you Brian, you were not scared. He gave you comfort in knowing you can still take care of your family, along side him. You touched so many lives on earth, God needed you to be his angel so you can touch more people. Tell God we said thank you for putting you on earth, even for a short time, so that you could spread life and love. Your spirit is in all of us that you have touched, and that, will be the piece of you that we will always have.
