He’ll Always Be a Part of You—“You’ll always miss Brian, but he’ll always be with you in the memories you keep, the stories your family tells, the laughter you share, and the love you all hold for him. May those good things help heal the hurt in time.

Carol and Larry, I am so unbelievably sorry for your loss. Please know our thoughts and prayers are with you during this terrible time. It is just heartbreaking. I remember when we were all younger and Auntie Mary would bring Mikey and I over to your house and we would swim with Brian. It was always so much fun. Love always, Tracy. Xoxoxox
