You would be making us laugh, simle and having a good time as we always did. I still haven't dated much cause there is no one like you or put up with my crazy self. lol I Love You always. Hey your a Grandpa :-)

Oh my sweet sweet friend, I decided to look you up, see how you and the kids were. This is the nightmare I found. I knew there had to be a good reason I hadn't heard from you. I was hoping is was a really good woman...:). This planet was blessed to have had you. I was blessed and thank God everyday I met and grew to know and love you."The Man who loved women". I will carry your love with me always...Thank you....Thoughts of you bring a smile to my face everyday Isbell. I was missing you for sure. Now, to know you aren't beaming your beautiful spirit to all you see,, I am heartbroken. Now comforted by the thought of you being way closer to me now, then you could have ever been here. Ride in peace Howlinwolf, enjoy your new journey. See you when I close my eyes,,,come by and pick me up for a bit. :)

Brian,
I miss you very much. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. I've been seeing someone as I told you not sure where its going and if we only end up friends I will be ok with it. I still wish you were here with us. I could use some advice from you time to time but I know that's not going to happen. I tell everyone I'm ok but I'm not. I really miss you so much and sometimes I'm not sure what to do. I Love You Brian.

Brian,
I found someone almost like you. He really likes the girls and he likes me. I never thought I would be able to find someone who is some what like you. He is someone Iwould like to keep aound. I miss you very much and I will always LOVE YOU. I just need to move on now that you are gone. Which I never thought you would leave me either but you left me in the worst way. Keep a good eye out on me and lead us in the right direction. Love you always.

I worked with Brian at the Bethany Post Office and we dated for a short while, although it didn't work out we stayed friends but lost contact. He was a joyful, wonderful, fun loving person. I enjoyed his presence and his children are wonderful. He will truly be missed.

Brian's enthusiasm for his life and excitement was contagious. He was ready to look into school and doing "his homework" before we made vocational plans this next week! My condolences to you his family. He talked about and loved his children deeply.
