I knew Brian by his middle name Kelly. Kelly was always a pleasure to be around and he and his dad always seemed to be great guys and you could see the dads teachings and upbringing in his son. Christi, I know the Lord will bless you to get thru this and I believe that when one door closes there will be another door opened and sometimes we need only to look for the opened door and many blessings will be awaiting us thru that door.
I am very sorry for your lose of a husband and father....
