I didn't know Brian personally, but I had Mrs. (Sheila) Edstrom as a teacher, and if Brian was anything like his sister, he must have been a really wonderful person. Deepest sympathies to the entire family.

We have many wonderful memories of Brian from his days at Loyola Academy. A true and loyal friend, he shared in our son's wedding festivities in Monterrey, Mexico. Our condolences and prayers to all.

Dear McGrath Family,



I am so sorry to hear of Brian's struggle and passing. He and my daughter, Suzy, were graduated from St. Theresa in Palatine many years ago. I saw Brian's smiling Irish face in the paper and remembered the cute kid from STS. What a fine man he had become...may your memories and close family bring you consolation during this difficult time. Hold tight to each other and to the One who holds us near.
