May God gives you and family His strength, comfort, and peace at this time of the sorrow. My thoughts and prayers are with you and family.
In His love,

To the entire Bryan family,

I was so sorry to hear about the loss of Mr. Bryan. I had the great pleasure of working with Mr. Bryan on Habitat for Humanity projects. Mr. Bryan was a wonderful man and such a great servant of our community. I enjoyed all of the times that I had the pleasure of his presence.

God bless you all.

Regards,
Courtney Wilson

Mom, Faith, Mike, Christina, Keith and Carol Ann,
I am so sorry to hear of Pop's passing. He was such a wonderful man. Know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. May you find comfort in the Lord. I love you all, wish I could be there with you. He helpped so many people throughout his life. What a glorious child of God he is. I know that God is happy to have His son home even though we will hurt and miss him awful. Always keep alive his memories. He will always be in each and every one of our hearts forever.

Bryan Family,
My heartfelt sympathy goes out to each of you. I had the pleasure of providing Pastoral Care to Mr. Bryan while he was at Riverside. I even used his words of "truth" in a sermon that I gave about a month ago. His testimony will stay with me always. I am blessed to have known him.

Nancy, I was saddened to hear Frank had passed. My sympathies to you and the family. Frank was a fine principal and, I'm sure, a wonderful superintendent. I remember well our days together at VSDBH fighting to keep the school operational for the children. Frank's work was known nationally so I'm sure you will hear from our other colleagues. Again my sympathies. Philip A. Bellefleur (Superintendent VSDBH, retired)

Ms. Bryan and Family,

Sorry to hear of the loss of Frank. Even though I didn't know him that well, I've listened to him often during my time on the Board of Supervisors. He has certainly been an advocate for those less fortunate by supporting affordable housing issues. His contributions were many and he will be missed in the community. My thougts and prayers are with you and the family during this time.

I met Mr. Bryan because of his blood transfusions. They took many hours to complete but he never complained. He was always smiling and encouraging. He wasn't looked upon as a patient but as a friend. He is a friend that will be greatly missed. His family will be in our thought and prayers.
