Not sure what to say?

All the love shared in your notes has really meant a lot to me. Thank all of you so much. Brian touched each of you in your hearts, as he did mine. I will miss his smile, his laugh and his sweetness.

Brian was more than just a coworker of mine; he was a true friend to everyone he met including my entire family. The world lost a whole lot of love the day he was taken from us. Our thoughts and prayers remain with you.
Love, Daphne and Richard Powell

Randy,
Brian was a treasure, we visited your home - and were made to feel welcome and comfortable - We had an event at work and Brian was supportive - we had a question and he would provide an answer. Brian indeed was a gift from above, cherish your memories and know that you can call on us for anything. Give Molly and Buddy a scratch for me. Love Nancy and Bill

We will miss you, Brian. Thank you for all the wonderful things you did for our family. We won't forget you.

When Brian's infectious laughter enters my mind, I am reminded of the last two times we hugged. We hadn't seen each other often since my mom died. She, Brian and I had a special bond. With her death, whenever Brian and I saw each other, we quietly whispered to one another how we missed her. We would inevitably shed a few tears. Then, we would laugh because we were usually at a party and how appropriate were these tears at every party where we ran into each other? The last time I hugged Brian,...

Dearest Randy and Brian, I knew how wonderful you both were from the moment I met you. It was so inspiring to see the outpouring of love from all of your friends, relatives, co-workers and neighbors. I hope all of those who knew and loved Brian will try to emulate his unselfish love for others. Randy, I know this is probably one of the most difficult times in your life, and I can't think about you without crying. You are one of my best friends, and I can't stand to see you hurting. But Brian...

To Brian and Randy, we will all be together, one day.

We know not why lives are cut short. We push our souls to the depths of despair, attempting to understand “the WHY.” The great philosophers attempted, but could not quite get it. We may never understand a love denied or brief glimpse of happiness removed, perchance we will get close, but it is the one that remains, living and breathing, that cries out, “Why do the good die young, and the cold, mean and heartless ones live...

A friend told me about this site over the weekend. Your thoughts & prayers have touched my family & me in ways that I cannot express. Losing Brian wasn't just the loss of my brother, but also my best friend. I will carry on, but will also never be complete again.
