Brian, you have been family to me and my Mom for almost 30 years. I will never forget you. We were so looking forward to staying with you next month. I only wish we would have had that extra time with you. I still laugh at the memory of the last time you were in Lincoln when I would pick you up for your meetings and we would have lunch at the Mexican restaurant after. The waiter who had tried to ask me out was mad when he thought you were my date, and gave us crappy service. You thought it was hilarious and said "if only he knew." I will always cherish those memories like I will cherish our years of friendship. We love you always!
