You are truly loved and will always be in the thoughts of the countless lives you've touched. Your absence is felt on a daily basis and it is with no doubt that you are, in some way, helping us all to cope. This is one of those times out of many in which your family and friends need that help even more. Much Love, Uncle Joe

The Be A Villen show was really good. Tons of people turned out for it, and it was good to see so many of the kids I hadn't seen for a while. I liked your drawing a lot, and Scotty's work is amazing. He's wicked talented. I had a really good talk with your Dad. I've always thought he was the nicest guy. It's tough.

January 21, 2008

I miss you so much. I scroll by your name in my phonebook all the time, drive by your house on my way to work everyday, see your pictures hanging in my room...You're ALWAYS on my mind. I love you Brian..Still can't shake this babe. It's just not right..

Damn..Almost two months have gone by and I still can't bring myself to accept this. I can't even imagine not being able to see you again for the rest of my life. I'm not understanding this, still. You were meant to experience everything life has to offer. Brian, I love you so much, and I'm glad that you knew that. I'm so happy to have had you in my life, and I'm so happy we were as close as we were. I'm missing you, and will be for the rest of my life. Rest in peace Brian, See you when it's my turn.

October 11, 2007

There are no words. Only pain for so many of us. Years ago, I was told that it's good to have the pain when a loved one passed away because it allows us never to forget how strongly we cared and continue to do so. Our lives will never be the same without my nephew and our pain reminds us of how special he was to us all. How lucky we are to have been a part of Brian's life. For my sister and her family, my heart breaks so horribly. My love is with them always.

LIBBY my loving cousin. You will be missed but never forgoten. Hey Libs I new you were a popular kid , Captin of SHS Hockey, loving brother,and a roll model to all the young children that looked up to you at the recreation service which you loved so much. Brian you have touched so many harts , and saved friends from life staking decesions. You have helped so many people trough good times and bad times while you were with us. This is still very overwelming for me to grasp. You will always be my brother that I never had, you will always be my freind you will always be my cousin Libby from Somerville. Sometimes I wasn't sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing. After all those who had payed their respect to you and your family well im just lost for words. "Well bud you you sure shocked me with this one". I will Love you forever from now until the day you greet me in the glorious heavens above. I am so proud to be your cousin. Love You Libs your honored cousin Johnny a.k.a. YAN
I would love to thank all of you beautiful people that showed their condolences in any way, shape or form to the LIBERATORE family.

October 10, 2007

Libby,

I can't believe this. I knew you for a very short time just this summer but I cherished every moment I got to see you 'cause you always made me smile and you were just an INCREDIBLE human being! It's so weird to me that I saw you just a few days before and you came out and looked at my car after someone had crashed into it...and I told you I had to go but I would be back for some drinks with the boyfriend. I never came back :( If I had known it was the last time I would see you I would have been back in a heartbeat and stayed ALL night just to have your contagious smile make me happy after someone had ruined my car. I wish I had known Libby. I am so sorry. I will always think of you and remember knowing you this one summer, and how you really were one of the sweetest guys I ever knew...and I don't know what I'm going to do knowing I will never see you again. Rest in Peace Libby.

October 10, 2007

October 10, 2007

Unfortunately, I never had the chance to meet Brian, but i know many people who did know him, and their lives are better for having known him. Nothing can be said to make it better, but all of the support from those who knew him or the ones in his life, can show you how great of an impact he had on others. Life is unpredictable, and cruel at times with no reason as to why things happen. We move on because we have to, but memories and people we know ALWAYS LIVE ON IN OUR HEARTS AND MINDS. My heart goes out to all invovled.

October 8, 2007

Brian, I couldn't bring myself to write in this because that would mean you were really gone. I just can't believe this is happening. Its not fair at all. I miss you so much. I just want to pick up the phone and be able to have our conversations. You were my first love and will always have a special place in my heart. I will never forget you and will hold you close to me forever. I love you so much. I hope our angels are taken care of you <3 Miss you tons and can't wait till I get to see your beautiful smile again <3

Joanne Liberatore-Smith

October 8, 2007

I question life and the why's and how's of things that happen. I will never understand how such a beautiful young man is now gone from us all. Life can be so short and so cruel and I hate the pain that I see in so many faces of our family that I love and that love you Brian. There will be a void forever in all of the hearts that loved you. Life will never be the same, yet we must keep going and continue to live until we meet you again in that better place they call Heaven. Rest in peace my sweet cousin.

Kyle Baxter

October 7, 2007

There will never be another Brian Liberatore. Intelligent, humorous (hilarious, really) and friend to all who had the honor and privilege of knowing him. I think most people will fondly remember Brian smiling, having finished a joke or story that has everyone around him in stitches. I was lucky enough to enjoy years of cross country, rec., little league, and hockey. Every time I think of Brian I am attacked with two emotions: sadness of his passing, and laughter as I recall a joke or story of his. There will NEVER be another Brian Liberatore. May Brian's memory inspire us all to be better people - to laugh and love like we never have before. Rest Easy.

My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends.

October 7, 2007

Brian, you will be missed. Such a tragedy. RIP kiddo.

To the entire Liberatore family: Words can not express how sad and sorry I am at the loss of such a wonderful, kind, funny, fun guy. Bri's one of a kind. He will always have a special place in all of our hearts.

Libby: I can't believe you're gone. I'm so grateful that we got to see each other last week. If I had known it'd be the last time I would have hugged you a little longer and told you one more time how happy it made me to see you doing so great. I will never forget you. Love and miss you always.
