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

Robbi,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. It was so special that two classmates found each other, married and started a family. I can still remember Brian driving his Firebird around in high school. God Bless You and Nicholas and Jackson.

Dearest Robbie,
There are no words that I know of to make this easier for you. Brian was a peach! Please know that grandma and my family are all praying for you and the children. I just wish we could be there with you, but grandma cannot travel. Good luck and hug your mom and dad. That's the best advice I can give you. Love to all.
