Brian, we were instantaneously best friends and inseperable. Time and distance has separated us but nothing could have ever prepared me for this...My heart has crumbled to know you are not walking on this earth with me. I will miss your funny sarcastic humor, your jokes and your loving ways. I miss so much the days we just hung out together. I wish Brian, that I would have been a better friend and listened to your need... I'm sorry and I miss you terribly. Suzanne
