To the parents of Brian. I met him in Banner Elk over a year ago. I am an artist also. We spent every thures. night talking for hours. He was a kind generous funny talented man. He taught me so much, I will always remember him. I think of him so very often and it was so difficult for me to go to Sorrento's even to this day. I can not imagine the grief you feel. I can tell you that he was such a very special person and that I shall remember him always.
