Brian,
A year ago today I stood by your hospital bed wishing you would open your eyes. And today I stand before your grave wishing you were still here. A day does not go by that I do not think of you. So many words have been left unsaid and so many things have been left undone. The tears still fall and I miss you.
I love you with all my heart.

Love,
Mom

Love,
Kenneth
