Dearest Brian, Not a day goes by I don't think of you. Singing, rolling that cart through the kitchen at a crazy speed. We had some of the best conversations during the day. I am more cautious of everyone's well being since you are no longer with us. I pray for peace over your family and that they don't remain sad, but joyous for the time they had with you. You were a light to us, you celebrated life the whole time that I knew you. You were full of gratitude, more than anyone I ever knew. I truly miss your smile and all the happiness and love you spread throughout the store. Forever in my heart, I truly miss you. May Gods peace rest upon your family.

Brian's passing is one of three young people's that keeps coming back to me. A place, an activity, seeing something. For Brian, whenever I visit Sharon Woods. When I pass by your house on my bike. When I remember the school days. I sit here in silent meditation.

I pray that you always knew that you were very special to me. You shared your story and it touched my heart. You made a great impact in the earth and we will never forget you. The world is missing a great one. I'm honored to have had an opportunity to share the kitchen with you, you worked so hard and was a friend to us all. This is a hard one for me, you will never be forgotten. The kitchen will never be the same. I think we will name a wok item after you with your special sauce. That was the last thing you told me you would do, and you did it. My prayers of comfort to the family.
