Diane,Joe, Steve, Brian, Tanya and all who loved Brendan. My heart broke this morning hearing of the loss of a sweet young man who I had the privilege of many conversations over the years. He was a loving young man who loved his family. I have you all in my prayers today. God bless your family and all families who have lost their loved ones and those who struggle today in this crisis. I am grateful I had the chance to talk to Brendan over the years, he was a sweet sweet young man. We will be sure to honor his memory.
Love Joanne
