Dear Friends and Family of Brian,

As time passes, the memory of Brian continues to be a cherished presence in our lives. His untimely death touches our hearts with enormous loss. Brian was not just a neighbour he was the child I watched growing up. His friendly kindness as a good neighbour will always be remembered. A genuinely good soul whose absence is deeply felt.

In remembering him, we are reminded of the warmth and light he brought into the life of his family. My thoughts are with all his brothers and sister and extended family as we continue to hold his memory dear
With heartfelt sympathy and warm remembrance,
The Hawkshaw family.
