This man was a very loyal customer at the Oxford Kroger store. Not only that, he was also a great man to talk to. He would stay 15, even 30 minutes after shopping just to share his wonderful knowledge with me, a simple Kroger employee. I want to believe that it wasn't his time, he had so many other things to accomplish in his life. But I also believe that God and His son have much bigger plans for him. I hope and pray for his family and friends. I hope they find peace and happiness wherever they go. Brian was and still is a great man. Don't worry, we will all see you soon Brian. We will see you later.
With much love.
