God is our refuge and strength.The
Lord is good A strong hold in days of trouble and despair.
Thy sun shall no more go down neither shall thy moon withdraw itself:for the Lord shall be thine everlasting light,and the days of thy mourning shall be ended. Isaiah 60:20

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. When someone close to me died, I was given this poem and it really helped.
God hath not promised
Skies always blue
Flower -strewn pathways
All our lives through
God hath not promised
Sun without rain
Joy without sorrow
Peace without pain
But God hath promised
Strength for the day
Rest for the labor
Light for the way
Grace for the trials
Help from above
Unfailing sympathy
Undying Love
We never got a chance to know your son, but do care for you and will keep you and your family in our prayers.
Corwin and Jennifer Arthur

I remember Bryan by his big grin on his face ad the curls that he had when he was little. He will be in our hearts forever. I seen this poem titled "Our Cousin" hope you like it.
People never knew just how much he meant to me They knew him by name, but it's still not the same
His eyes so bright, his smile so wide
You always let him know you were right there by his side
Now he's gone from me and you
Now we have no reason to be blue
We loved him, he loved us
And we have to try not to fuss
Why does God take the best to love
Up to that great big world up above?
His memory will never leave
His kind and gentle smile will always be seen
Never forget him, never let him leave your mind
Tell him you love him, just one more time.

Bryan's Family. During this time there is a time to mourn and a time to remember. It will be the little things that you will remember the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter, and although it may seem impossible right now it will be the memories of these little things that help you to eventually push away all the pain and bring smiles back again. Bryan will be greatly missed. If there is any thing we can do let us know. Our love and sympathy goes out to all of you.

Gary, Judy, Jennifer, Amie, Grandma Sue and families,
Death leaves a heartache
no one can heal.
Love leaves a memory
no one can steal.
There's nothing that we can say to ease the pain your families are feeling caused by the death of your precious son, brother, grandson, uncle and nephew, but we want you to know that our heart hurts for all of you. We sincerely hope that your grieving is brief, but that your memories of Bryan are eternal. Keep the memories of him in your hearts and he will live on with you forever. Please know that your families are being kept in the kindest of thoughts and our prayers for all of you are for strength, peace and comfort. Trust in the Lord and lean on Him in this time of need, only He can ease the pain you are feeling. If you need anything or if there is anything we can do for any of you, please do not hesitate to let us know.
With love and sincere sympathy,

I just really don't know what to say. I am very truly sorry for your loss and know that my heart and prayers are with you. Bryan was at my house so much in his growing up years and then a big part of his teen years, he was like one of my own. I had so many of Adam's friends in and out, but Todd and Bryan were pretty much just part of the household. If there is anything I can do for you, please do not hesitate to let me know.
