There are never words powerful enough to reduce a friend's pain, but I wish there were. I am thinking of you. Call or email if you want to talk.

Dear Mike, Jeanne, and Karen,
We are so sorry for your dreadful loss and pain. The world is lessened by the passing of your wonderful son. Brian will be forever dear in our hearts and clear in our thoughts.

My wife Patti and I are saddened to hear the news of Brian's passing. We pray for strength and peace to you from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Brian was an intelligent young man with a bright future. We all suffer his passing when considering the wonderful gifts that God bestowed upon him.

Mike, I am sorry to hear of your son's passing. I can not imagine how hard this must be. I wish you and your family well. I am sorry I will not be able to attend the service this weekend - I am traveling in Chicago on work. My deepest regards,

Dear Mike,

I read of your son's death. From what I read, he was as smart, if not smarter, than his Dad. What a terrible loss you have suffered! I hope your faith in God will help you deal with your grief. I will keep you, your family and your son in my prayers.

Your friend & fellow Griffin from the VHS Class of '71,

Dear Mike, Jeanne & Karen,

Steven and I would like to extend our deepest heartfelt condolences for the loss of Brian. Much too young to be with our lord. I did not know Brian personally but only of him as you talked about him lovingly and with pride. Brian knew he was loved because his family was always there during his life and illness. Your family should be comforted in knowing you did everything possible and that Brian had you all at his side right to the end. God bring peace...
