Our thoughts and prayers were with you yesterday as you observed the first anniversary of Brian's home going. May God continue to watch over you and bring you peace and comfort during these difficult days.
"Isaiah 40:31: Those that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings as Eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint." I know Brian is soaring like the Eagles and may you run and not be weary and may you walk and not faint, ever holding on to someone good and perfect. Our prayers are with you.

To the family of Brian,
My thoughts and prayers are with you especially during this VT commencement time. I did not know Brian, but from all I have read and heard about him, it is so obvious that he has received a far greater reward than any human being could ever give him. What great pride you should feel in reading the comments his peers and professors have said about him. I know God will provide all the strength, patience, understanding and acceptance you need, as I know you miss him so very much. All of you remain in my thoughts and prayers.

As the days pass, do not think that we have forgotten about you in your sadness. Our prayers continue for you. In Louisville, we feel that we, too, have lost one of our own. Everyone who knew Brian loved him. Do not doubt that you will see him again, reunited in Christ Jesus, who will dry every tear and take away all mourning. May the Holy Spirit comfort you, and grant you the peace that passes all understanding.

I had the pleasure of knowing Brian, through mutual friends. He was always smiling, in fact I cannot picture him without a smile. He definately made the most of his time here.
My prayers have been with since I found out, and they will continue to be with you. May you find comfort knowing that Brian will always be with you, watching over you.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am the sparkle in the snow.
I am the shredded leaves that blow.
I am the sunlight on growing grain.
I am the gentle summer rain.
I am the quiet bird at night.
Circling about; Taking flight.
So do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.

RISE UP SLOWLY, ANGEL
Rise up, slowly, Angel.
I cannot let you go.
Just drift softly midst the faces,
In sorrow now bent low.
Ease the searing anger,
Born in harsh unyielding truth
That Death could steal my loved one
From the glowing blush of youth.
Rise up slowly, Angel.
Do not leave me here alone,
Where the warmth of mortal essence
Lies replaced by cold, hard stone.
Speak to me in breezes
Whispered through the drying leaves,
And caress my brow with raindrops
Filtered by the sheltering trees.
Rise up slowly, Angel,
For I cannot hear the song
Which calls you through the shadows
Into the light beyond.
Wrap me in your downy cape
Of sunshine, warm with love,
And kiss a tear-stained mother's face
With moonlight from above.
Then wait for me at sunset,
Beside the lily pond,
And guide me safely homeward
To your world,which lies beyond.
Just spread your wings and take me
In reunion’s sweet embrace,
And we shall soar, together,
To a different time and place.
For the parents, bless you.

So many of us are still in shock in Blacksburg and I personally can't really grasp the fact that he is no longer here. I know he is walking in paradise with our Almighty God right now. I was a part of the BSU while at VT and was in a bible study "Brown Family" with Brian. I saw Brian's beautiful smile about a week before April 16 and it brings joy and peace to me when I can't seem to grasp what has happened at VT. I am praying for all of you and I love you. Go Tigers & Hokies:)!!

To Brian's family and friends,
Our heavenly father promises at Isaiah 41:10-"Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not gaze about, for I am your God. I will fortify you. I will really help you. I will really keep fast hold of you with my right hand of righteousness". May you grasp hold of his hand and allow him to guide you through the coming days, months and years.
May you gain comfort from these additional scriptures:
Isaiah 25:8-"He will actually swallow up death forever."
Revelation 21:4-"And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."
My husband was lost on 9/11 and these scriptural promises comfort me greatly.

My family is so sorry for yor lost. But there is hope. Jesus said at John 5:28,29: "Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." The Bible also says at Acts 24:15:"There is going to be a resurrection of the righteous and unrighteous. So even unrighteous ones who don't know and serve Jehovah will get a future opportunity to gain God's favor.

I read about his "great personality" and comments made from those who knew him. Such a terrible loss and my deepest condolences. Grieving parents need to know that Jehovah will sustain them through intense sadness, just as he did David, (of the Bible). They can approach the great "Hearer of Prayer", trusting that he will give them help. (Psalm 65:2) But not only parents, any who mourn the death of a loved one. If you pray to Jehovah in faith, he WILL sustain you. Take care
Philip Furrow

Father we entrust our brother Brian to your mercy. You loved him greatly in this life: now that he is freed from all its cares, give him happiness and peace forever. Welcome him now into paradise where there will be no more sorrow, no more weeping or pain, but only peace and joy with Jesus your Son, and the Holy Spirit forever and ever.
May God hold Brian in the palm of His hand. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. My deepest sympathy.

I never knew Brian, but have read so much about him and the other ones who went "home" on April 16th. His persona affected me especially, because he sounds like such an incredible person, and with an openness about his faith in God. I just wanted to leave my condolences for the family and friends of a person who touched each person he came in contact with, whether they ever met him or not. That is evident everywhere where his name is mentioned. God's scripture has been so comforting during this time, especially. Having been in that building and watched the change of classes on Drill Field long ago I felt connected, somehow. God's Blessings on You!

Psalm 105:4--Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.
Isaiah 54:13 - All your sons will be taught by the LORD, and great will be your children's peace.
Luke 20:37--They are like angels, they are God’s children.
Philippians 4:13--I can do all things in Him who strengthens me.
Psalm 121:78--The LORD will keep you from all harm---He will watch over your life; the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.

Dear Bluhm Family,
My heart breaks for you and your beautiful boy. I wish, as everyone does, that I could rewind that day and make it as it was before that terrible day... Of course, I can't. I can tell you that he is with you now, sitting beside you when you bow your head to think of the pain of his loss will bring to all of those fortunate enough to have known him. I did not know him in life, I grew to know him by stories on his life, how he lived. I have no doubts in my mind that Heaven welcomed him in, that he found peace from the Lord, and if any regrets, it is that he had to leave YOU. You were his heart. You raised him to be the good and decent man he was becoming. Your love. When all other things are lost, Love remains. The love you have for him, and the love he has for you.
Faith tells me that everything happens for a reason, but when I look upon these faces, your son's beautiful smile, my heart breaks. I know we will never be able to know why this happened, not really. But Faith tells me that your son was such a bright and beautiful soul, he simply could not walk among us long. He was too good.
I wish I could return him to you so that you all could attend one of his beloved games, that you could cheer beside him, touch his warm face, look into his deep eyes. I know he is beside you during this time, that he is your angel now. He touches your tearstained cheeks, strokes your hair with invisable fingers, that he remains alive within you.
Bless your heart, dear Family, I hope that faith will hold you tight, love you as he did, and remind you that he is in God's gentle hands now, never to hurt again.
We cry with you on your loss. We grieve with you. In him, we see our own family. We see our sons, our husbands, our brothers, our cousins. Tears fall for him all over the world. People pray for you and him all over the whole. That he touched so many, that is a sign of a great man. Thank you for helping him become the kind of person anyone would love to know, love to marry, love to be. To be the kind of man I hope my boys will one day be like. Thank you for that...
May God bless and keep you all close in His heart. I know your Brian will forever be in your's... and mine... the world's. Bless you all.

To the Family/Friends Of Brian:
I hurt for what has happened to Brian. When you get a chance to breathe, I hope you can gain courage from this: what the Bible "really" teaches about all those that have passed is that they are likened to being "asleep." John 11:11-13
May the resurection hope sustain you, for the Bible calls Jesus "the resurection and the life." By means of his Father, Jesus will call out to those in the memorial tombs (Brian) and resurrect them to a cleansed, paradise earth that is to come. John 5:28-30; 2Pe 3:13
When Jesus walked the earth and resurrected many who passed, he was giving us a preview of what he is going to do for mankind in the future.....Take Care

My son, Alex,is a junior at Virginia Tech majoring in civil engineering. He has spoken often of the encouragement Brian gave him especially when he was beginning his engineering studies. I regret I did not have the privilege of meeting Brian. He will be missed but not forgotten. Though he was only with us for a short time there will be many future VT engineering students who will benefit from the legacy he has blessed us with.

When we lost our daughter, also a college student, in a tragic car crash six years ago we never would have thought anyone would understand the pain we have been feeling. But to Brian's family, know that there are thousands who know what you are feeling and we know that while the pain will never ever go away, it will gradually ease and you will one day be able to smile again when you think of the times you cherished with Brian. This is a time when you are feeling tremendous support from people all over the world. Soon you will be alone with your grief and you will need to support each other as never before. Seek counseling; seek out others like you as I am with this message. You will find comfort and strength, and Brian will remain forever. I wish you all the best in this difficult journey.

Your son was a success in life, not a victim, that's a press term. JFK was a good president, not a victim , Lincoln was a great president, not a victim. Your son was a hero. God bless you all.
