To the Parker Family, and to all the many friends of Brian. Brian was a great friend of my son Tyler Watson. He also made quite an impression on my youngest son (9). Hearing this news hurt deeply, but it also renewed my belief that as a mother I cannot take a single day for granted with my three wonderful kids. To Pat and Cathy, I cannot comprehend your grief, I am so very sorry. To Brian, thank you so much for being such a true and loyal friend to Tyler. You took him through so many difficult times and never wavered as a trusted friend. He will miss you, Tanner will miss you and I will always thank you and remember your kind, gentle and loving spirit. God wrap His arms around Brian and hold him forever.
