Not sure what to say?

You are very much missed my dear friend.

I miss my brother. I miss my friend.

There is such an empty feeling in our family - a place that can never be filled. Every day, every minute, we remember you and how much brightness you brought to our world.

B, Remembering you today and everyday.
Saying you are missed is an enormous understatement. There are no words.

Brian's 30th birthday is next Tuesday and I had to say hello to his friends at this time. As his mom, this is a sentimental and lonely time.

But ... I believe there is a little bit of Brian in each of you. We are who we have spent time with and cared about -- who we grew up with or were young adults with. We have a little of their personalities, a little of their mannerisms and even simply how we think may be because of our favorite friends. I have to think that, I like that. ...

Thinking of you on this 1 year anniversary of your death. You are so missed Brian. I think of you so often, as do many others. We share stories of you and your spirit will never be forgotten. Big Hugs to your family.

Brian and Blue

Bri-

As I sit here late at work I wanted to say thank you for your friendship, you got me to college and after our freshman year I can't believe we made it. Maybe the only 2 students who showed up to school with a blender for margaritas, I think we set the tone for one of the funnest dorm floors at Kato. I find myself telling a lot of stories involving the 2 of us and you still make me laugh. Take care buddy, sorry it took so long to write, your friend always.

Brian, The holidays were HORRIBLE without you. I missed you so much and wished so much that we could have shared the holidays together like we always have. This is so hard, how do we ever move on? I don't know how to. I need to see you, I need to know that you are okay. I love you so much and think about you so so often.

It's the day after Christmas, I am sure you were deeply missed this year. I went to school with you since junior high. I was sadden by the news of your passing. Your family is in my prayers.
