Oh, Brian, it is so hard to be here without you. I miss you so much. What am I supposed to do without you? I know that you are watching out for me. I saw the signs today. Thank you. I will love you always and forever just like I promised you over and over. You made me a better person. Keep me strong. I think of you every minute of every day. WAMHAS. Peace, love, and blessings, Linda

Linda,
My thoughts are with you as you live out the loss of Brian. I did not know him, but through brief discussions we had I saw the love you have for Brian as your eyes sparkled and your smile grew when you talked about him. I hope you can find consolation in the arms of God. May he keep you close, and may you receive comfort in the hugs of family and friends.
Love,
JoAnne

To The Entire Reed Family
and Friends,
My memories of Brian go back years and years- we went to the same church in Levittown and our families were friends.
I remember Brian and will always remember Brian as kind and thoughtful, always full of fun and joy, always wearing a smile and always loving life....and family.
We are just so shocked and saddened by your loss...
You are all in our thoughts and our prayers...
May the Lord comfort you and give each of you strength in the days that are ahead... And ...May you each gain comfort in knowing that angels are always close by those that are grieving.. so they can gently whisper the joyous reminder that their loved one is safe and in the hands of God.
With Love,
Ralph and Nancy C. Dubendorfer
and family

Dear Brian,
It doesn't seem fair that you are gone. I know that I do not always understand why things happen, but that I should just have faith in God's plan for us. You just had so much more to do. I'll miss your kind smile and the way you laughed. I enjoyed all our conversations and I always left them with a new way of looking at things. Thank you for your words. Working with you musically was a lot of fun and you made everything seem easy and comfortable. Your passion for life, music, and family is inspiring. There will be an empty place without you. You were a gift and I am grateful for the experiences I have had with you. I imagine you are starting a praise band up there, maybe the angels needed a leader. God knows best. I'll miss you but the thought of you will make me sing longer and stronger I promise. Rest in Peace Brian.

Death has invaded our ranks and taken from us a brother; a voice in our council has been silenced. He has made his last run, hung up his satchel, and turned in his time card to the Eternal Time Keeper, but we hope that his liberated soul may ever drink pure draughts from the never-failing streams of eternal life. Boom Boom, we will miss your laughter, your songs and your wonderful sense of humor. You made our lives richer with your presence and you will be lovingly remembered.

We're stunned and saddened to learn of your loss. Brian was our mailman for several years and brightened many a morning with his humor and zest for life. You knew he was one of the 'good guys' that touch people's lives daily. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Brian,
You have blessed us beyond words with your joyful music at immanuel. My family will miss you deeply. You always had such a positive, humorous, and genuine spirit to share with others.
We are so grateful to have shared time with you and are thankful that Linda brought you into our circle.

My condolences to the Reed family. Bian was a great guy, very gentle, kind and funny. I remember Thurs. night basketball at Bowling Green School, I had to go up against Brian to get a rebound. Guess who got the it? Brian you will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Brian's Family. Brian was a good friend and co-worker. I will miss the talks we had on sports and life in general. I will also miss his great sense of humor. Fantasy sports won't be the same without him.

My wife and I would like to send our sympathies to Brian's family.
I knew he was a good family man from the times we saw him and his family at St Martin's School in Bethpage.
He was above averge ball player at Clarke who saw great success on the baseball field.

Well, honey, I wrote a note to you at 2:00 in the morning but it never showed up so I'll try again. I love you and that is forever. I will miss you until God calls me home and I am in your arms again. Brian, I was never so happy as I was after we met. You were the world to me and it is going to be difficult to learn to live without you. Our friends and family are all devastated. But they are also holding me up. I don't think you had any idea of the huge impact you had on people. Everybody loved you and we are all in a state of shock. Tomorrow we will celebrate your life. I hope you are pleased with our tribute to you. Rest in peace, my love, and make some beautiful music for God with the angels. I will see you when it is time. WAMHAS (hope it's okay that I borrowed this from you). Peace and blessings. Linda

Brian, I will love you forever and always. Thank you for the time we spent together. I was never happier in my whole life. I miss you. While I know that you are with me in my heart, I wish that you were still here. What I would give for one more day to hear your laughter, see your smile, feel your arms around me. Peace to you, my love. We will be together again when God calls me home. Play your guitars and sing with the angels. But always know that you are loved by me. Peace and blessings, always. Wamhas, Linda
