Every year at this May memorial anniversary the loss of Brian brings our knowledge that life is so fragile and every moment one has breathe use time wisely. Tell your loved ones how much you care and cherish them as a unique individual & created by God purposely. Just their existence and experiences from knowing them and their life journey adds to our knowledge & makes us better people. It has been 6 years now and we know life altered so abruptly and w/ on any preplanned idea how to survive without you as a friend's husband and 2 young groen men who just a blink prior were children, baby and watching their growth from long distance was a blessing as all 3 of the men in Janel' s life made her the happiest friend who's long time friendship from Center South Jr seems like an eternity. It nearly is..Sending your family prayers of peace & hoping in that now 6 years have passed that you all have a great perspective to Life with Brian... My image of The Jolly Green Giant in real life & who everyone loved who wouldn't as his heart & his being a people person always giving to others even when health issues dealt him a bad hand. He grew to adapt to life's journey and actually thrivedbi his continuation of " doing for others more than himself,"Definitely his name is recorded in the Hall of Fame of Baseball nover & shaker. He was a fixer and full of knowledge that others looked up to in reality. Love to all,!!!! j& r
