Lorielle and family, I was so sorry to hear of Brian's passing. These things we do not understand or have a reason for. Holiday times bring both joy and sorrow. You have been on my heart and in my prayers. May God and family give you support, love and comfort. your great aunt, Marty, formerly of Springfield, Mass and your grandmother Edie's sister.

As I remember Brian I can see his beautiful smile when he brought much needed items to our classroom and how his face lit up when he expressed his love for his wife, "She's great! I just love her! I'm a lucky guy!" And of course, the most recent memory at the kids' birthday party playing laser tag. He ran, ducked, hid and just kept shooting everyone, laughing. Especially funny because I was the only other adult and everyone else was under 10!
