Robbie.... I was deeply sad to hear about the passing of Brian. He was always a hoot in class with making me laugh. At first I did not know who he was until I saw the photograph and said, yea...that's crazy Brian Dry. Then a sudden sadness came over me. You know...Brian is not suffering anymore. He is probably hanging out with other Cary High Angels like Sherlita Smith and Benton Overman.
I still remember him walking the hallways at Cary High and the teachers were always asking him where is was going. Usually is was to ISS (smile). I now that Brian grew up to be a friend, confidant, husband and a wonderful father. I will keep you and the boys in my prayers. If there is ever anything I can do, please let me know. Take care Robbie...you are going to make it. God always keeps his promises.

I was at a total loss for words upon hearing this news. Brian was such a great guy, always happy and always honestly sincere. I remember the first day he moved to the area and turned heads. He only gave his heart to Robbi and created a great love story. Another reminder of time being too short due to a senseless tragedy. My thoughts, prayers and sympathy to all who loved/cared about Brian and his family. If I would have heard the news sooner I certainly would have attended the services to pay my respects. Sadly, Cyndy Decker White
