I am so sorry to hear the news of Brian's passing. I purchased Brian and Sheryl's condo from them at Newberry Plaza, and always had the utmost respect for Brian. They left the apartment with such positive feelings and good karma. Brian was always a gentlemen in our business dealings, and was an incredibly warm and nice person. My deepest sympathies to the Schwartz family.

Many condolences to you at this time of great loss. Know that God (Psalms 83:18) is caring and will help you through this troubling time. Note What God says
here: "Like a man whom his own mother keeps comforting, so I myself shall keep comforting you people."—Isaiah 66:13. His care and concern far exceeds any mans'. Though rain clouds your eyes and pain fills you, know that friends and family are here to do.. whatever you need.

Dear Sheryl,The Schwartz and Silverman Family,
Words can not express my deepest sympathy for the terrible loss of Brian. I clearly remember freshman year when you got together. You were a wonderful couple and created a beautiful family. I will always remember Brian as the warmest and most personable guy. He always greeted me with a hug and made everyone around him feel special. I wish you peace over time with loving memories. I will always think of you and your family.

Dear Sheryl and Schwartz Family
I had the honor and privilege of working with Brian and Sandy for three years recently at Merrill, and will always remember Brian as one of the finest young men I have ever come to know. His constant smile, kind words and caring actions should serve as an inspiration to all who have known him. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you in these difficult times.

Dear Sheryl and Schwartz Family,
It is truly unusual for someone to be universally respected and liked, but Schwartzy was one of those individuals. He made everyone he came into contact with feel special and important. Words cannot express how sorry we are for your tremendous loss. May each passing day get a little better for you all.

Rose & Jeffrey Marks

Cheryl, our sincere sympathy goes out to you and your family. We knew Brian since his freshman year in high school. Because of his relationship with Myles he became like part of our family. In the later years of his life the few times a year we saw him he would always hug us. He was always so warm and considerate. We have a heavy heart over this loss. He was a QUALITY human being.

Sheryl,
I am just heartbroken for you over the loss of Brian. Alan has always said what a genuine and wonderful guy he was. We both hope that your beautiful children, amazing friends and loving family are giving you some comfort during this difficult time. Also take comfort in the knowledge that whenever anyone speaks or thinks about Brian, it will be with admiration and love.

Diane Weil

January 29, 2007

Sheryl:
I just wanted you to know how heartbroken I am over your terrible loss. I didn't know Brian, but from everything I have heard (and read) about him, he was truly a wonderful husband, father and human being. I also know that the two of you shared the kind of special relationship that very few people ever do -- which of course makes his loss even more devastating. I only hope that somehow, some day, that the incredible love and closeness you shared with Brian can become a source of comfort, too.

Emily and I, and my whole family send our deepest sympathy.

John E. Picchietti

January 29, 2007

Sheryl:

My deepest condolences.
I have great memories of Brian throughout the years going all the way back when we were little kids.
Many more memories of him from High School and College.
Naismith & KU wouldn't have been the same without the two of you.
You have a great support system from not only your family and close friends, but from our community as well.
If there is anything that I can do for you or your children, please do not hesitate in letting me know.
My thoughts are with you.

MICHELLE ANIXTER

It came as a great shock to hear about the passing of Brian. You may remember that we lived across the hall from each other at school and occasionally spoke to Brian when he came by to visit you. While we did not know Brian very well, he still became a part of our lives and it is with great sadness that we heard of your loss. Our hearts and thoughts are with you in this difficult time. Please know you and your family in our prayers.

I was shocked and saddened when I heard the news of Brian. Brian was a great person. He was kind and considerate. I remember seeing both of you downtown while we all lived at Newberry Plaza. Both of you always looked happy. I will miss him. Stay strong for your family and know we feel for your loss.

Bobbie Friedman

January 29, 2007

Sheryl, I only met Brian a few times but was so impressed by his easy ways and, when I look back now, by the grace and beauty that he emanated. What a presence he had, and will always have. The sorrow felt by his passing is overwhelming. My heart goes out to you and your family.

marcy hoffman abt

January 28, 2007

its times like this that people from the past and those you pass in our daily rush just want to reach out and be there or just ask "what can i do?" so, to the sillverman and schwartz family, i know there is nothing anyone can do but remember the cool, calm, and geniune guy that brian was and will always be. your children will be reminded by many people what a terrific guy there dad was.

Rich & Judy Rovetto

January 28, 2007

Sandy, Sande Lee, Sheryl, Blake & Emma,

Our words cannot adequately express the depth of the sorrow we feel for the loss of Brian that you that you are enduring—we can only imagine. If someone didn’t know Brian, they would only have to read the kind words expressed here or hear the eulogy which drew a vivid picture of the wonderful person that he was—simply one of the best human beings we have ever had the privilege to know. We hope that you will draw strength from your family, your many friends and your faith and that you keep his memory alive by concentrating on all of the beautiful things he accomplished in his life. We were all blessed to have been touched by his presence in our lives and we pray for you and for Brian so that he may rest in peace.

Cheryl & Eric Duckler

January 28, 2007

Sheryl,

Eric and I just heard about Brian and cannot begin to express our sorrow. Brian was one of those guys who you just liked because he was so sincere and genuine. Your children are a part of him that you will always have to carry on; and he’ll also be a “certain something” that you will someday see in your grandchildren. We are praying that the road ahead will get easier to navigate for you and your family. Brian was just a truly amazing person and we are so deeply sorry for your loss.

Steve Kriozere

January 28, 2007

My brother Jeff broke the news to me about Brian. 'Shocked' is an understatement. To say someone was a great guy is easy. To actually be that person is another matter entirely. Brian was a great guy and he didn't even have to try hard to do it. The world will be a better place because he was here. My condolences to Cheryl and the Schwartz family.

Debra Ankin

January 28, 2007

To the Schwartz and Silverman family,
Words cannot express how deeply sorry I am for your loss. The loving memories I have of Brian, and the friendship that I shared with both him and Sheryl will never be forgotten.

With love and sympathy,

Stefanie Penner

January 28, 2007

To Sheryl and the entire Schwartz Family,
We are overwhelmed with sadness and grief over the loss of Brian. The two of you were a beautiful example of what true love and kindness are. We will miss his bright shining face and waves as we drive down the street and pass your house. We will miss all the long talks on the driveways as we went on family walks and never continued past your house, but instead the children played and we got to "catch-up"! Scott will forever hold Brian deep in his heart for a friendship that he valued so much. We are here for you in more ways than you may imagine right now, but know that FRIENDSHIP, LOVE, STRENGTH, COURAGE & FAITH will be at your beckon call from us and all of your friends and family who feel helpless right now and hope that you will call upon us to be your rock! For now and always, you have us here for you and the kids!
With much love and our deepest sympathy,
Stefanie, Scott, Dani, Ashley, Justin & Melanie Penner

I was so sad to hear about Brian. I wanted you to know that I am thinking about you and your kids. It has been a while since I have seen you, but you should know how many people are thinking about you. I have found that it works to be strong when you can, and grieve as you can--in your own time. Find the strength in your children.
I will continue to think about you.

Dear Sandy, Sandi Lee, and Sheryl,
Please accept my deepest sympathy on the passing of Brian. He was such a classy guy, so handsome, and well spoken. I remember him clearly when he came to visit me at my job in Las Vegas. I too have been where you are, losing a daughter. It is horrific to outlive a child. Hold your grandchildren close, because they are the part of Brian you will never lose. Sincerely, Diane Bell, and Kristen.

My deepest sympathies are with you at this time. I was a client of
Brian's and had the same thing happen to me four years ago when my
husband passed away very suddenly. Brian was there to lend an ear and
help me through this awful time. I have two little boys, cherish your
children as Brian will live on through them. My prayers are with you,
your children, and your families at this most difficult time.

Kim and Paul Lee

January 27, 2007

Dear Sheryl,
Words cannot express the sadness we feel of Brian's passing. We will always remember the fun times we spent together on our various ML trips. You both have been nothing but wonderful friends to us, especially during Paul's fathers illness and passing. Brian made that time more bearable for us with his kind words and actions. We hope that we can be here for you as he was for us. He was a wonderful man that we miss dearly and always will. Our prayers will be with you, Blake and Emma...always.

Tori Katz

January 27, 2007

Sheryl,
I was devastated to hear about Brian's passing. He was the happiest person and the most loving husband and father I have ever met. When I first met him at the Cinema Diner in NYC a few years back over pancakes I remember thinking that he was such a cool guy and I continued to think so highly of him from that day on. You are all in my heart and I wish I could be there with you today. You all mean so much to me.

Much love,
Tori

I am so sorry for the loss of Brian. To lose a husband and the father of your children is horribly tragic and completely devastating. Find comfort in friends, family and happy memories. Hold your children closer than usual and know that you can survive this.
Wishing you peace.
