I am still at a loss for words. I never ever expected Bryon to go so soon. He was not only a great cousin, he was a great person! I have so many good memories of years gone by, family reunions. Particularly the year that Bryon and I both graduated from high school, 1977. That was a great year for all of us cousins. We had the best time together. Bryon was our protector against anything and everything, not to mention our chauffeur. :) God must have needed you, Bryon, to take you so soon. He chose an Angel on Earth. You will be missed so much. Dianna, Aunt Helen, Glenda and Stan, my heart is with you.
