Just want to give my deepest sympathy to your loss.
The losses the past few months have been so intense and for them to be so young is even more of a travisty.
I am remembering in high school when Brian used to preach to me how much of a goodie goodie I was and how he used to make fun of me with the sayings I would come up with because I wouldn't swear, he was and still is such a bright soul and I will always take those memories to heart. He will be deeply missed.
Brian,...
