Karen, Ceil and Family,
We are so very sorry about the loss of Brian. He was such a brave young man. We have so many Chicago Avenue memories of those two adorable little boys, especially their Saturday morning rides to the dump with John (then going for ice cream!). All of you and Brian will always be in our hearts with love.

I'm sorry that we didn't have much time to get to know each other. the worst part is that Riley wont be able to know what a great uncle he had. you were to young to have been taking away from everyone. you gave your life the best fight and that is how you will be remembered. you were someone that NEVER GIVE UP!!

To Aunt Karen, Mom, & Little Michael,
I cannot truly express enough to you my deepest sympathies for your loss. I have many memories of both Michael and Brian on Chicago Avenue going to Carnivals, the park, little league games, fishing, and eating many meals together. Whether it was just a Tueday, a holiday or a picnic there was always someone there to share a meal. As a father and a brother myself, I can't imagine the sorrow and sadness you feel. Please know that the entire family is in my closest thoughts and hopes for strength to be delivered to each of you.
Love,
Freddie
