Brian.....your 57 years old today :)
Even though you have been in heaven all these years, you certainly have not been forgotten. Your messages are just as powerful and your teachings are still spoken of and incorporated. I have kept the West Highland Terrier tradition going. First there was Abby then Pumpkin now there is Angel. Just tonight Bob and I were chatting about when the 3 of us went to San Francisco and had such fun. Love you forever

Today would have been Brian's 42 birth day. Brian loved the Grease soundtrack, I've been listening to it a lot lately. Stockard Channing who played Rizzo was one of Brian's Favorite actresses. She also stared in Six Degrees of Separation. Brian enjoyed all her movies.
I remember visiting Brian a few years ago. I spent the day at the beach. While sunbathing I looked in the distance and there was Brian walking over to me to say hello. We took a walk along the shoreline. I keep this special memory close to my heart, always and forever.
I love you kid-o

Brian,
We have know each other for over 20 years now. Little did I know the day I met you, that you would eventually save my life by being a wonderful friend and tough with me when you had too. You were one of a kind and God broke the mold when he made you. I am alive today because of your intervention and support. You are in heaven with all the angels now. When you feel I am not doing what I need to do and my priorities are out of wack, feel free to slap me like you always did. I'll miss your visits up here when we would get together for lunch or dinner and talk, talk, talk. You went through your illnesses with courage, bravery, and an ability to always look on the bright side. Goodbye my dear friend and we will meet once again.

Hey Buddy, Your sense of humor and smile was something I always looked forward to when I came south. You had a way of making myself and the entire group smile and laugh...with only just a word, a tone in your voice, or simply just "your smile." How I will miss our special lunches, your ways of making a crummy situation in to a "walk on the beach!" Brian you will always be remembered, missed, but never forgotten. HUGS! Sherry

I remember Brian when we where all little kids. His family used to live at the corner of Moore St and our family lived on State St.
I think I was at his house more than my own as I used to hang around with Cheryl. I remember your Nana always used to call me Cheryl's "Shadow", I also remember packing lunches and all of us riding our bikes to Shed Park for the afternoon.
My deepest thoughts go out to the entire McCormack family and Brian's close friends.

Thank you for an amazing journey, I miss you so much. Come visit me in my dreams, until we meet again. Love you always & forever.

I will miss your smile and your laugh; your determined spirit and your develish sense of humor. You lived your life on your own terms... we should all be so lucky. I'll miss you and your visits north from Florida and having lunch with you at Joe's in Woburn. I will think of you everytime someone complains about "those ugly Flolan bags"....'cause you always had such fashionable ones !!!
