Dear Larry, We are sadden by the news of Brian. We will always remember the time Brian was "sailing" through the air on the tube!!! We tell the story alot!!!! You and the boys made that summer memorable. The girls still talk about the silly grin you would get when you were draging them around the lake on the tube. Thank you for the memories. God bless

We cant know why some things happen... but we know that love and beautiful memories outlast the pain of grief. and we can know that theres a place inside the heart where love lives always...and where nothing beautiful can ever be forgotten.If ive learned anything down through the years, its that nothing beautiful in this world is ever really lost- Those we chirish will always live on in memory.
Brian...
i cant believe you are gone, it isnt real to me. you are truly missed and...

I am so sorry. Brian was such a sweetheart. Memories of how special Brian was will be with us forever. I will never forget Brian with his fun loving spirit and big heart. My girls, Crystal and April adored Brian as I did. I agree with others that have written here, Brian had so much to offer and just needed time. Keep the special memories to comfort you. The many special memories you gave Brian are with him forever to comfort him.
My thoughts and prayers are with you...
