He will be missed.

Dearest Vanessa and all of my other family:

I miss Shane terribly. We spent fun times together as children and Shane was a shinning star to everyone who knew him and loved him. May the love he brought into our lives be remembered always.

Dearest Vanessa:

Our hearts and prayers go out to you for your loss. While we never knew Shane, he had to have been exceptionally special to have married such a strong an amazing person! Here is a hug from Dave and me! Love to you and your kitty!

To the family and friends of Shane Briley, I never knew the man you so lovingly memorialized in the paper, but as a fellow Irish (woman) I will be raising a pint (Guinness of course!) in his honor on the 16th, I have also decided to name my newly adopted "homeless" kitten Briley in his memory. May you all draw peace from your memories, and may God bring you all comfort at this time of loss. I can not honestly tell you what motivated me to write you all, but I felt so moved by your words, I...

Venessa and family, I am very sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts are with you at this most difficult time.

Vanessa: We are shocked and saddened by the loss of Shane. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers, and that we are here for you and Acey for anything you may need.

Vanessa and Acey and friends,
I'm so sorry about your great loss, but know that Shane is ok now. You are loved by many, and so many people have you in their thoughts and prayers. Take care of yourself as you go through this very difficult experience. Shane would want you to! Love, Tori
