Dear Jimenez Family,



Many people have crossed my path in life, but few left the lasting impression Brian did. He was always so full on energy and hope. He did make a difference the few years he was with us on Earth and he will continue to make a difference. As you go on he will be there, looking over your shoulder and guiding his loved ones forever.

Hi Brian (lil B) It's been 2 weeks & I still can't beleive you are not with us any more. It's been one of the hardest thing's for us all to except. I know one thing, you made our family closer & realise how short life can be.. You left us all with many good/funny memories that we will never forget. You had a talent that made you who you are. You will always be a loved Nephew, Son, Brother & Friend...... You've touched so many people & that alone is a miracle/blessing. I'm Blessed to have been your Tia. See you in HEAVEN! (B.T.W) Brianna will carry on your name:)

Querida Familia Jimenez,



Les quiero mandar mis mas profundos pesames. Fue un privilegio y honor para mi ser la maestra de Brian por tres anos (entre primero hasta tercero). Espero que las memorias que tengan de Brian y su fe les den alivio durante este tiempo y en el futuro. Que Dios los bendiga y por favor dejenme saber si hay algo en cual yo les pueda ayudar.



Con mucho carino, Kathy Flores

Dear Cousin,



Words can not explain how dearly I hold you in my heart and how much we are all going to miss you.



There is one thing I regret, which is, not being there to watch you grow. I know you are now in a better place watching over us, DJ'ing a couple of songs for the angels that carried you away...



Peace be with you.



Love Always,



George

Brian, Only our God knows why these awful things happen. Unfortunately you have left a lot of people behind that love you and will greatly miss you. When I first met you, you had a pair of glasses, and to me that is the way that I will remember you. I will see you in heaven, (in who knows how long) and I am sure that God will take care of you. I am asking God to give much strength for your family and bless them at this time of hardship.

To the entire Lopez-Jimenez family my deepest sympathy goes out to you. I got to know Brian at school and he was a ray of sunshine, always with a smile on his face. I will miss seeing his smile everyday, but know that he will remain in my heart always. I am very sorry for your loss and hope that one day your grief will be eased by all the memories that you have of Brian. Peace be with you.

Monica Llanes

To the Jimenez Family: Although there no words that can possibly be said to ease the pain and comfort you at this time, know that God is with you and he'll give you the strength you need to see you through. I remember Brian as this cute little boy wearing glasses running around with his cousins at family parties and I see his pictures now...a handsome young man loved by soo many in which happy memories will always live present in our hearts. My heart and my prayers go out to you for your loss.

With Love, Monica
