Time does not heal the heart of a mother who has lost her only child. The ache gets deeper and more intense. I wish you could see your beautiful son and his beautiful family. Your granddaughter is the throb of my heart. I will forever love you, my beautiful son.

Time has not taken away the pain. I've just become better at not having it out there. You will always be my baby and I will never again be whole without you. I miss you sooooo much. Love, Mom

Time does not heal all wounds. Time passes and you get better at enduring the pain and feeling like a zombie. I miss you so much I will never be whole again. I love you my beautiful son. Forever.

Time doesn't help. The pain of your loss gets deeper and harder with each year. There is no way for those who don't know to understand. I will love you until my last breath and beyond. I wait for the time I will be able to hug you again.

I was shocked and saddened when I heard that our cousin Brian was so suddenly taken from us. My heart goes out to Aunt Doreen, Megan, Brian Jr, Grandma and all of those who knew and loved Brian. I will remember the time I spent with him growing up, and those fond childhood memories will live on in my heart.
In prayer and sympathy,
Rebecca

Brian, friend, lover, Husband...The day that God closed your eyes forever on this earth, is the day that my heart and soul was torn in two! You are the other half of my whole, and for now, I continue to exist, praying and yearning for the day that I am in your arms again. I love you Brian! I will ALWAYS Love you! You left me too early...
