THERE'S A REASON

For every pain that we must bear
For every burden, every care...
There's a reason.
For every grief that bows the head,
For every tear drop that is shed...
There's a reason.
For every hurt,
For every lonely
pain-racked night...
There's a reason.
But if we trust God
as we should,
It all will work
out for our good.
He knows the reason.

I think of your...

Steve, Barbara, and Katie,
I am so sorry for this terrible loss in your family. I will always remember Brian as a fun loving guy with that smile on his face and a guitar in his hands. Brian brought such a blessing to my life and I'm thankful for all the good times in high school we had together. I take comfort in knowing that he's eternally home now with our Savior and he will always hold a special place in my heart. I love you guys and I'm praying for you.

Nolan Family,
I dont think you even remember me from way back when me and Roxanne used to come and visit Brian and Katie and then go down to the lake and just have fun. But I do remember your son and wish that it didnt have to happen to him, but at least he is in a better place now. I hope that if there is anything you need, please contact Roxanne and I will be there with open arms.

Dear Barbara and Steve, Iam very sorry to hear about your son Brian. I didn't know him except for the times he came into the store with you on Sunday's and i could see what a close family you are. My prayer's and thought's are with you and your family. Always thinking of you in my prayer's Maria Roblez from the bread store.

Dear Steve, Barbara, and Katie,
Brian was an amazing man of God. In all the years I knew him I never once saw him without a smile to share. My fondest memory will always be the egg and water fights we shared at the 4th of July parties. I don't think I ever won. At Granite Bay I shared classes with him and he always showed a special kindness to everyone. It was so obvious that he was a true man of God and desired to love everyone just as God does. I feel so blessed to have known him and...

Brian was my guitar teacher since Januray this year. I remember my first lesson with him, I thought he was the coolest teacher ever. I looked forward to seeing and playing with him every Thursday. He taught me all worship songs like "Shout to the Lord", "Your Love is Amazing", "Amazing Grace", and "Your Love is Loud". I learned so much from him, he was my favorite. He also let me play on his electric guitar, I love that!
I am so saddened by his death and wish I could have one last...

What an amazing young man now stands in the arms of our God. We know that Brian is truly home. Our prayers are with you, his family, as you miss him so very very deeply. For the time that Brian was here, he was such a tremendous example to all of us, to love with the love of Christ. Such a loving disciple.

Barbara and Steve,
I never met you guys, but I had the privelege of meeting your son earlier this summer at the Underground. We talked a lot about life and our plans for the future. His love for God was so evident. He had an amazing love for life and his smile and laugh were SO contageous. Just seeing Brian across the room made me smile, thinking about him made me laugh- he was SO funny! He has left a mark on my life, the way he lived his life was amazing. The last time I saw him was...
