I will always remember and cherish our last words. Only a few short days ago, I saw you at Mom and Dad's house. As I was rushing out the door to leave and saying "good-bye", I told you I loved you. You responded "I love you too." These verbal assurances, however, were not necessary. We knew we loved each other. There has always been (and always will be) an abundance of love in the Leask household.

As we struggle to make sense of and come to terms with this significant loss, I am comforted knowing that Brian touched the lives of so many. The outpour of support has been overwhelming. Brian was loved and respected by so many people. Not always given the easy path in life, Brian rose above many challenges throughout his lifetime. Brian always maintained a strong sense of family, integrity and faith in God. I admired Brian for his compassion for others. God blessed us all with his presence. Brian's presence was truly a gift and has made this world a better place.

I am so proud of you, little brother. I am honored to be your sister and grateful for the times we shared together. I will treasure our memories always.

Our family and friends love and miss you very much, Brian. May our love for you reach Heaven above.
Until we meet again someday.

Dear Family,
It's hard to find the right words for a time like this, but I just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Brian was a wonderful person and a great friend. No matter how you felt, you had no other choice than to be happy when Brian was around. He was always happy, cheerful, and laughing... no matter what was going on. He always smiled and gave me a big hug whenever we saw one another. He kept everyone laughing and in great spirits. (At work, he would even give me the heads up on his clients who had warrants so I could go and serve them before anyone else knew they were wanted. He was my little secret weapon. :)) Brian touched the hearts of everyone who knew him. He looked out for everyone. He will always be loved and his memories will forever be cherished.

Sincerely,
Liz Robinson-Chan
