Dear Devine Family,



My deepest sympathy goes out to your family. Brian and I dated for a few months about two years back. He was so loving, kind, and precious. I adored him with every inch of my heart, as did my family. I never got the chance to meet any of you, but Brian will ALWAYS be in my heart. Photos are a good memory, but if only he was here for one more hug. My prayers go out to all of you. God Bless.
